Nutrient Cycles - ANSWERChemical building blocks that cycle through Earth's
systems and can be expressed on a global scale.
Where does most of Earth's energy come from? - ANSWERThe Sun. The
energy input and output is the same going on and off world.
Do nutrients cycle off-world? - ANSWERNo, they cycle exclusively through the
planet itself.
Macronutrients - ANSWERElements required in large quantities. Carbon,
