The answer is Law of Dominance
Only the part of the leaf that was in the sunlight would contain starch because it absorbed light for photosynthesis however the plant that was covered was not able to absorb light because it was covered so no photosynthesis took place.
B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil
This statement best demonstrates a way that the geo-sphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle.
A nitrogen cycle is defined as the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geo-sphere in different forms. Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Then the plants absorb these nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.
