Biology Chemical Cycles

NITROGEN CYCLE

Water Cycle

  • Transpiration – When water becomes vapor and rises to the atmosphere due to plants
  • Condensation – Water Condences to create clouds
  • Precipitation – When water falls back to the ground
  • Evaporation – When water becomes gas and rises due to heat
  • Runnoff – When water escapes and piles in an area
  • Inflitration – Water goes through the ground and collects into the ground

Human Impact on the Water Cycle

  • Pollution
  • Building
  • Deforestation

CYCLE SUMMARY

  • Nitrogen Canot be used in its basic form by organic life and as such Bacteria and Lightning creates usable nitrogen known as NITROGEN FIXATION
  • Consumption – One organism eats another organism and obtains the nitrogen
  • Decomposition – Decomposes the organism and places nitrogen into the soil
  • Ammonification – Bacteria Convert Nitrogen into ammonia
  • Nitrification – Bacteria convert nitrogen in ammonia into Nitrates and Nitrites to be absorbed by plants
  • Denitrification – Bacteria convert Ammonia back into pure Nitrogen and recycle it back into the atmosphere

IMPORTANT

  • Bacteria are most impotant in recycling Nitrogen

HUMAN IMPACT ON THE NITROGEN CYCLE

  • Fertlizers create imbalance in the soil by adding more nitrogen to the soil
  • Combustion releases more nitrogen into the atmosphere

CARBON CYCLE

What is Carbon?

  • Carbon is the basis of all organic molecules, and is found in a veriety of chemical forms
  • Carbon is used for essential organic materials like DNA, SUGAR, GLUCOSE, and LIPIDS
  • Can be found in our atmosphere, minerals, and fossil fuels

CARBON CYCLE MAPED

  • Photosynthesis – Plants capure Co2 to create glucose
  • Cellular Respiration – Co2 Is released from Animals and Plants into the atmosphere
  • Consumption – When an organism eats other organisms
  • Decomposition – Organic Material is abosorbed back into the ground and so is carbon, Sending carbon into the enviorment
  • Fossilization – Organisms Die and become fossil fuels that can be burned
  • Combustion – Co2 is released back into the atmoshphere from fire

Human Impact on the Carbon Cycle

  • Burning Fossil Fuels or Combustion
  • Breathing
