Water Cycle
The movement of water in different states around the Earth
What is the water cycle
Carbon is only found in abiotic features. (True or False)
What is false?
The ___ __ is the movement of nitrogen between the environment and living things.
What is the Nitrogen Cycle?
Name substances other than nutrients that can cycle in ecosystems.
What are pesticides or metals?
Where most nitrogen is found.
What is the atmosphere?
The process that makes water vapour into ice crystals or water
What is condensation/condenses
List the spheres of Earth that carbon is cycled through.
What is the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere?
2 ways that nitrogen can get into the soil.
What is Fertilizer, Lightning, Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria (etc..)
A property that materials that are prone to bioaccumulate have.
What are fat-soluble materials?
Is transformed and cycled many times through different cycles.
What is matter?
A process where plants release water from their leaves.
What is transpiration?
A process where carbon dioxide is cycled and in the form of carbon dioxide and sugar.
What is photosynthesis/cellular respiration?
Trophic level that absorbs Nitrogen.
What are producers?
The Build-up of substances, like pesticides, in the tissues of living organisms.
What is bioaccumulation?
A process where elements are recycled between living organisms and the environment. It involves natural processes like chemical reactions and geological events.
What is a biogeochemical cycle?
How do clouds form?
Hint: Use scientific terms!
What is water condensation collecting in the atmosphere, joining together and forming a cloud?
Some abiotic and biotic factors that can contribute to the carbon cycle.(1 of each)
What are volcanic eruptions, deforestation, respiration?
Organisms that break down nitrogen compounds in soil, turning them into nitrogen gas that returns to the atmosphere.
What is Denitrifying bacteria?
Organisms that are more affected by bioaccumulation
What are higher trophic levels(Tertiary,secondary)?
What are greenhouses gasses and what are their roles in climate change?
What is a blanket of gasses that trap radiation reflected from Earth's surface. The more greenhouses gasses there are, the warmer Earth's surface becomes.
The percentage of the Earth that is water.
What is around 70%?
Name the equation for cellular respiration. Hint: If used, will give you a penalty of 25 points
What is Glucose (sugar) + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy?
Name 1 type of bacteria and it’s involvement in the nitrogen cycle.
What is:
Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria- converts nitrogen in the air to ammonia so it’s usable by living organism
Nitrifying Bacteria - ammonia into nitrates- turns the nitrogen into a form that is absorbed by plants
Denitrifying Bacteria - turns nitrates back into gas
What happens as substances that can bioaccumulate move through food chains?
What is biomagnify/biomagnification?
Since this is a hard one..
-500 pts: Name 4/6 of the elements that have Biogeochemical processes.
-50pts BONUS: if you can name ALL six WITHOUT mistakes
-450 pts: if you can name 4 WITH a hint - Once the hint is revealed, the BONUS will be invalid
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Acronym:CHNOPS
