Material Cycles

The document tests knowledge of environmental science concepts through a series of true/false statements. It covers topics like the composition of nucleic acids, types of algae, greenhouse gases, nutrient cycles, and the effects of eutrophication and acid rain. The reader must choose the correct option - A, B, C or D - based on whether statement 1 and 2 are both true, 1 is true and 2 is false, 1 is false and 2 is true, or 1 and 2 are both false.
