Biogeochemical Cycles
Across
- 6. release of water from leaves during photosynthesis
- 8. conversion of nitrate into dinitrogen oxide gas
- 9. decomposers break down organic matter into ammonia
- 10. organisms use sugar for cellular processes and form carbon dioxide and water
- 12. water that percolates through soil
Down
- 1. producers form sugar from carbon dioxide and water
- 2. conversion of ammonia into nitrite and nitrate
- 3. water that moves across the land surface
- 4. burning fossil fuels to release carbon dioxide
- 5. process by which producers incorporate elements into their tissues
- 7. rain, sleet, snow
- 11. process by which atmospheric N2 is converted to ammonia by organisms
