Rain, sleet, snow and hail are all forms of this.
Precipitation
This is Carbon's atmospheric form.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
This microorganism is most necessary for the Nitrogen cycle to take place.
Bacteria
This essential nutrient is a key component of DNA, RNA, and ATP.
Phosphorus
Define biotic
Living or living things
The process that occurs when water changes from liquid to gas caused by heat.
Evaporation
This is how plants receive their Carbon from the atmosphere.
Photosynthesis
Nitrogen makes up this percentage of gases in the atmoshere.
It does not cycle through/ exist in the atmosphere.
This cycle involves the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
Carbon Cycle
The cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid.
Condensation
The largest reservoir of Carbon on Earth.
Rocks
The process of bacteria changing N2 into a form that can used by plants.
Nitrogen Fixation
This process involves the weathering of rocks, releasing phosphate ions into the soil and water.
Weathering
This process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis
Rainfall that is not absorbed by soil and travels to the ocean.
Run-Off
These are the 3 products of cellular respiration.
CO2, water, and energy (ATP)
A process where bacteria changes usable nitrogen back into N2.
Denitrification
Plants receive phosphorus through this process...
Assimilation (root absorbtion)
These are three different forms of nitrogen.
Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates.
The passage of water vapor from a plant to the atmosphere.
Transpiration
These are the 2 products of photosynthesis.
Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen
This step in the nitrogen cycle involves the conversion of ammonia into nitrites (NO₂⁻) and then nitrates (NO₃⁻), which plants can readily absorb.
Nitrification
Eutrophication is caused by an increase of phosphorus and other nutrients causing a buildup of algae. This leads to what negative effects for organisms?
-Decreased Oxygen levels
-Blocked sunlight
This human activity is a major contributor to the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the air.
