Answers
GPT-4o mini
**Biogeochemical Cycles:**
1. **Carbon Cycle - Ways carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere:**
- Combustion (burning fossil fuels)
- Decomposition of organic matter
- Cellular respiration
2. **Carbon Cycle - How carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere:**
- Photosynthesis (by plants)
- Absorption by the oceans
3. **Carbon Cycle:**
- Releases carbon dioxide: Cellular respiration
- Takes in carbon dioxide: Photosynthesis
- Releases oxygen: Photosynthesis
- Takes in oxygen: Cellular respiration
4. **Nitrogen Cycle - How atmospheric nitrogen becomes available for use by organisms:**
- Nitrogen fixation by bacteria converts nitrogen gas (N₂) into ammonia (NH₃) or other compounds.
5. **Where nitrogen-fixing bacteria are located:**
- They are mainly found in the soil and in root nodules of some plants, like legumes (e.g., peanuts, beans).
6. **Nitrogen Cycle - How soil nitrogen converts back into atmospheric nitrogen:**
- Denitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO₃⁻) back into nitrogen gas (N₂), releasing it into the atmosphere.

**Limiting Factors:**
**Density-Dependent:**
- Competition for resources
- Disease spread
- Predation
- Stress from overcrowding
**Density-Independent:**
- Natural disasters (like floods or wildfires)
- Weather conditions (like droughts or extreme temperatures)
- Human activities (like deforestation)
