Water Cycle
T or F: Water is NOT necessary for all organisms to survive on Earth.
False
T or F: Nitrates are used as soil/dirt preservatives.
False; food preservatives
T or F: All living things are made of carbon.
True
T or F: oxygen is vital to allow most life on Earth to thrive.
True
Liquid to gas, due to increased temperature/pressure
Evaporation
What type of energy drives the states of water?
Sun
How is lightning related to the nitrogen cycle?
Makes nitrogen usable/delivers to ground
What releases extra CO2 in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels
What type of energy is used by photosynthetic organisms?
Sun
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Precipitation
What are 3 types of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, hail
Where is most of the nitrogen contained on Earth?
Atmosphere
Carbon is recycled between what two forms?
Inorganic and organic
Photosynthesis takes CO2 and creates what?
oxygen
Colorless gas produced by burning carbon, organic compounds, and breathing.
CO2/Carbon Dioxide
Explain what happens to water after it evaporates from the ocean.
Condenses in clouds/precipitates down as rain
What in the soil allows nitrogen to be useable?
Bacteria
Photosynthetic organisms use what to make organic materials? (3 things)
CO2, water, sunlight
Oxygen can get to the atmosphere with help from what type of organism?
Photosynthetic
Unreactive gas; forms 78% of atmosphere
Nitrogen
Name 2 places that precipitation is collected.
Lakes, rivers, streams, ground water
How do animals give and receive nitrogen?
Give = die/decompose
Receive = eating plants
How is carbon added to the soil?
Organisms die/decompose
What does animal/cellular respiration create?
CO2/Carbon Dioxide
Found in all organic compounds.
Carbon
