cycles Flashcards
transpiration
evaporation through trees
denitrification
extra nitrate in the soil, bacteria turns it back into nitrogen gas and is released back into atomsphere
ammonification
plants die, their dead bodies are nitrogen so decomposers turns that into ammonia back into the cycle
nitrification/ fixing
bacteria turns nitrogen gas into nitrates for plants to use
assimilation
plants take in nitrates to through the roots
stromatolites
rok that has banding bc past life had so much oxygen in the air #cyanidephotosynthesis
phosphorus cycle explain GO
- rocks (has phosphorus in it) slowly are withered away from rain
- runoff into ocean
- ocean has phosphorus
- phosphorus goes to bottom of sea and creates sedimentation
- sea floor in the future would up lift to make rok land
- cycle goes again
carbon cycle explain GO
things that increase CO2
1. cellular respiration by consumers, primary consumers, and decomposers return CO2 into
atomsphere
2. burning fossil fuels
things that decrease CO2
1. photosynthesis
2. animals can die and become sedimentation/ fossil fuels which is stored CO2 (decomposition)
oxygen cycle explain GO
- photosynthesis increased oxygen in atomsphere
- cellular respiration decreases oxygen
- burning fossil fuels decrease oxygen
infiltration
water in soil become ground water
