Select the INCORRECT statement about the Nitrogen cycle. 1) Nitrogen in the atmosphere is plentiful, but nitrogen deficiency sometimes limits plant growth because plants cannot use nitrogen directly. 2) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in close proximity to plants produce nitrogen-rich organic molecules available to the host plants. 3) Human activity increases the levels of Nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere which contributes to acid rain deposition that affects the environment. 4) Human activity has no effect on the nitrogen cycle since it is readily available in the atmosphere.

Which of the following statements are true about the nitrogen cycle? Select all that are true. This cycle's largest reservoir is the atmosphere. Nitrification is a major flux in this cycle. Photosynthesis is a major flux in this cycle. Transpiration is a major flux in this cycle. The weathering of rock is a major flux in this cycle. This cycle is significantly affected by the extraction of fossil fuels. This cycle is affected by the release of detergents in treated wastewater. This cycle's largest reservoir is ocean water.

Which one of the following statements about the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles is true? The major source of carbon used by plants is the carbonate rocks and soil. The major source of nitrogen used by plants in photosynthesis is the atmosphere. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component. Soil bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle.
