Carbon Cycle
CO2
What do plants use in the process of photosynthesis?
Rocks and Minerals
Where is Phosphorus contained in?
78%
How much nitrogen gas does the atmosphere contain?
Process in which elements, chemical compounds, and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another.
what is the biogeochemical cycle?
Process of Respiration
What is the process where animals use oxygen to make CO2?
The soil and plants, which are eaten by animals.
Where does Phosphorus move between?
Special bacteria can directly use nitrogen in our atmosphere and fix it so other organisms can benefit.
What are nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
Activities performed by living organisms.
What is biological?
As dead plants and animals
How were huge deposits of carbon stored?
Water basins
where does some of the phosphorus soil wash away into?
To make their proteins.
How do higher organisms use nitrogen?
Volcanic eruptions, rock formations, and plate tectonics.
What is Geological?
6CO2 + 6H2 ——-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the photosynthesis equation?
Plant overgrowth, strangling all other life forms in the water.
What does too much phosphorus lead to?
Ammonia and nitrate products rich in nitrogen.
What does animal waste decay create?
Formations of clouds, lighting, flow of water.
What is Chemical/Physical?
Volcanoes
What is a natural source for CO2?
Excess growth caused from excess runoff.
Why is the use of too much phosphorus-rich fertilizers bad for the environment?
Can break down the ammonia into the gaseous form of nitrogen.
What can denitrification bacteria do?
Mining and burning of fossil fuels, clearing of land, use of fertilizers.
