What are four common nutrient reservoirs?
Reservoir A- consists of living organisms and detritus. Organic materials are available as nutrients. Reservoir B- consists of peat, coal, and oil. Organic materials are unavailable as nutrients. Reservoir C- consists of the atmosphere, water, and soil. Inorganic materials are available as nutrients. Reservoir D- consists of minerals in rocks. Inorganic materials are unavailable as nutrients.

What is the Importance of food for living organism?
Food provides nutrients and energy we need.
How do soil organisms affect the nutrients available to plants?
Soil organisms affect the nutrients available to plants. In a hard rocky soil,absorption of water and oxygen is minimal. In a fertile soil, availability of water and oxygen is maximum which help in proper growth of plants. Even where the sun rays do not reach the soil adequately specially in dense forest, the soil organism is not conducive to nutrients available for palnts' growth.
What would happen to a crop if the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil were destroyed?
it decreases the nutrients available for living organisms.
Explain the importance of available water to organisms?
The availability of water is one of the most important factors that determines the number and kinds of organisms that live in an area.
Is the process of dissolving important process in nature?
Yes. Dissolving nutrients in water makes the nutrients much more available to biological organisms and can also help move those nutrients between areas.
What word describes microbes which gain nutrients from once living organisms?

Can nutrients recycled?
Nutrients are recycled in ecosystems, but not in organisms.
Why do organisms needs nutrients?
Organisms need nutrients to build tissues and carry out essential life functions.
Where do decomposers get their nutrients from?
Decomposers get their nutrients from dead and decaying organisms.
How can amount or concentration of nutrients affect the type of organisms found in freshwaters?
The amount of nutrients in freshwater will determine what type of organisms there are. If there is bacteria in the water, it may affect the nutrients and contaminate them, which will affect the organisms that live in the water.
