13.5 – Cycling Of Matter Flashcards
_Cycles through the environment
water
_In and out of an ecosystem
matter cycles
the_, or water, cycle is the circular pathway of water on earth
hydraulic
organisms all have bodies mostly made of_
water
_Essential to life also cycle through ecosystems
elements
transpiration(water from leaves) + _ -> condensation -> precipitation
evaporation
a_cycle is the movement of a particular chemical through The biological and geological parts of an ecosystem
biogeochemical
The main processes involved in the oxygen cycle are_and respiration
photosynthesis
_Indirectly through an ecosystem by the cycling of other nutrients
oxygen cycles
_Is the building block of life
carbon
the_Moves carbon from the atmosphere, through the food web, and back to the atmosphere
carbon cycle
_Is a emitted during the burning of fossil feels
carbon
some carbon is stored for long periods of time in areas called_
carbon sinks
the_mostly takes place underground
nitrogen cycle
some_convert gaseous nitrogen into ammonia through a process called nitrogen _
- bacteria
2. fixation
some_bacteria live in nodules on the roots of plants; others live freely in the soil
nitrogen fixing
ammonia released into the soil is transformed into_
ammonium
nitrifying bacteria change the ammonium into_
nitrate
_Moose to the food web and return to the soil during decomposition
nitrogen
the_cycle takes place at and below ground level
phosphorus cycle
_Is released by the weathering of rocks
phosphate
_Moves through the food web and return to the soil during decomposition
phosphorus
_Leeches into ground water from the soil and is locked in sediments
phosphorus
both_and agriculture add phosphorus into the environment
mining
natural and human activities can disrupt_cycles and ecosystems
biogeochemical
what are some natural disruptions?
volcanic eruptions, forest fires, landslides and earthquakes, living organisms
what are some disruption caused by humans?
Poor family practices and burning of fossil fuels
what does NAANS stand for?
nitrogen, ammonia, ammonia, nitrates, back to soil. (Nana and Anna napped soundly.)
