Q: What do fungi absorb to get their nutrition? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Most fungi grow on moist soil or rotting vegetation such as dead logs. Some fungi live in water. Others live in or on other organisms. Fungi get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from other organisms. The other organisms may be dead or alive, depending on the fungus. Choices: - water - air - soil - organic compounds from other organisms A:
organic compounds from other organisms

Q: What process is the opposite of nitrogen fixation? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: When plants and other organisms die, decomposers break down their remains. In the process, they release nitrogen in the form of ammonium ions. This process is called ammonification. Nitrifying bacteria change the ammonium ions into nitrites and nitrates. Some of the nitrates are used by plants. The process of converting ammonium ions to nitrites or nitrates is called nitrification. Still other bacteria, called denitrifying bacteria, convert some of the nitrates in soil back into nitrogen gas in a process called denitrification. The process is the opposite of nitrogen fixation. Denitrification returns nitrogen gas back to the atmosphere, where it can continue the nitrogen cycle. Choices: - digestion - respiration - percolation - denitrification A:
denitrification

Q: Tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and residual volume are all types of what kind of measurement? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: 39.2 Gas Exchange across Respiratory Surfaces The lungs can hold a large volume of air, but they are not usually filled to maximal capacity. Lung volume measurements include tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. The sum of these equals the total lung capacity. Gas movement into or out of the lungs is dependent on the pressure of the gas. Air is a mixture of gases; therefore, the partial pressure of each gas can be calculated to determine how the gas will flow in the lung. The difference between the partial pressure of the gas in the air drives oxygen into the tissues and carbon dioxide out of the body. Choices: - respiratory volume - emitted volume - breathing volume - lung volume A:
lung volume

Q: What is an ionic bond in nature? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: An ionic bond is electrostatic in nature. Choices: - magnetic - radioactive - kinetic - electrostatic A:
electrostatic
