Phosphorus Cycle
Phosphorus is found mostly in these two things.
What are rocks and minerals?
This is taken up by plant roots and released into the atmosphere.
What is groundwater?
This is the photosynthesis equation.
What is carbon + water —> sugar + oxygen?
The percentage of how much nitrogen is in our atmospher.
What is 78%?
This hurts other life forms in the water when there is too much phosphorus.
What is overgrowth?
This classification is when water from lakes and oceans evaporates and condenses into clouds.
What is Physical/Chemical classification?
These are the three fossil fuels that are burned.
What are coal, oil, and natural gas?
These two products rich in nitrogen are from animal decay.
What are nitrate and ammonia?
This is an important chemical for phosphorus.
What is DNA?
The classification that is when groundwater is taken up by roots and released into the atmosphere.
What is Biological classification?
The main controller of CO2 in the atmosphere.
What is the ocean?
This can break down the ammonia into the vaporous, nitrogen form.
What is denitrification?
What is an overflow of phosphorus and excess growth?
The classification when water falls from the atmosphere and is turned into groundwater.
What is Physical/Chemical classification?
This is the cause for too much carbon in the atmosphere.
What is the Greenhouse effect?
This is made from higher organisms that use nitrogen.
What are proteins?
In the Phosphorus cycle, phosphorus moves between these two things.
What are soil and plants?
This is contained in the atmosphere in the Water Cycle.
What is water gas (H2O)?
A source in nature for carbon.
What are volcanoes?
Animals eat plants with nitrogen and this happens after.
What is giving back nitrogen to the soil by waste (animal) or decaying plants and animals?
