Carbon Cycle
Nitrogen Cycle
Phosphorous Cycle
Sulfur Cycle
Hydrological Cycle
100
It makes up 20% of an organisms total body weight.
What is the importance of the carbon cycle?
100
78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen.
What is the largest reservoir of nitrogen?
100
DNA/RNA/ATP
What is the importance of the phosphorous cycle?
100
Burning of coal and oil
What is releasing SO2 into the atmosphere?
100
The combination of two processes that release water into the atmosphere.
What is evapotranspiration?
200
Natural gas, coal, oil
What are fossil fuels?
200
Producers obtain nitrogen into their tissues.
What is assimilation?
200
The biggest reservoir in the phosphorous cycle
What is the ocean?
200
Human activities affected the sulfur cycle by releasing large amounts of this substance in the atmosphere.
What is sulfur dioxide?
200
Water returns to earth as rain, snow, hail
What is precipitation?
300
Before the Industrial revolution, atmospheric carbon had changed very little for over 10,000 years. Now atmospheric carbon levels are much higher than ever before.
What is the impact of the extraction of fossil fuels?
300
Cyanobacteria turn N2 into NH3 and then NH4+(ammonium)
What is nitrogen fixation?
300
True or false: Phosphorus is needed in cellular respiration.
What is true?
300
H2SO4
What is sulfuric acid?
300
Increase in chance of flooding by removing wetlands or the creation of new buildings/parking lots.
What is a human impact on the water cycle?
400
This decreases the amount of carbon stored in plants for photosynthesis.
What is clear cutting?
400
Nitrate ions (NO3-) travels through water to bottom of oceans,lakes etc.
What is leaching?
400
The cycle time for phosphorous is.
What is very long?
400
Oceanic sediments and rocks
What are sulfur reservoirs.
400
This process causes a decrease in transpiration rates/infiltration of water into soils.
What is deforestation?
500
Explain the carbon cycle. Use as much detail as possible.
Photosynthesis, cellular respiration, exchange, sedimentary/burial, extraction, combustion.
500
Creates anoxic( love oxygen levels) by causing algae blooms.
What is excess nitrates from animal waste and sewage?
500
The result of using too much phosphorous in fertilizer.
What is phosphate runoff: from sewage and fertilizers that promote algae growth and destroys biodiversity
500
DOUBLE JEOPARDYYYYYYYYYY
5 minutes: As a team(on 1 piece of paper) describe how the water cycle affects the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle.
500
Explain the water cycle. Use as much detail as possible.
Evaporation, transpiration,condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, percolation, aquifers,
