Biogeochemical Cycles• Over 95% of the body is made of these elements:S P O N C H : Sulfur, Phosphorus, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen• An ecosystem needs two things:• A flow of Energy (goes one way through trophic levels and
is lost along the way)• Cycle of materials

Water Cycle• Water = H2O• Cycles Hydrogen and Oxygen through the
biosphere• Water makes up to 70% of the mass of our bodies• Water is an important solvent for cell processes

Water Cycle1. Precipitation: water falls to the Earth as rain, snow or ice
![Page 6: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Water Cycle2. Runoff: Water moves along the Earth’s surface into rivers, lakes, or streams
![Page 7: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Water Cycle3. Seepage: Water soaks through the soil and collects in pools underground.

• Can be gradual or sudden

Water Cycle4. Evaporation: Water changes from a liquid to a gas (usually occurs at the surface of lakes and oceans)
![Page 12: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Water Cycle5. Transpiration: Water evaporates from the leaves of plants (the most evaporative)
![Page 13: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Water Cycle6. Condensation: Water changes from gas to liquid (occurs when warm, moist air rises and cools in the upper atmosphere)
![Page 14: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Carbon Cycle
![Page 15: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Carbon Cycle• Carbon is the main ingredient in all living things• Carbon makes up the 4 macromolecules of life:• Carbohydrates• Lipids• Proteins• Nucleic Acids
![Page 16: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Carbon Cycle1. Photosynthesis: Plants take in CO2 from the atmosphere and use it to make food.
![Page 17: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Carbon Cycle2. Feeding: Animals obtain carbon by eating plants.

Carbon Cycle3. Respiration: Animals breathe out CO2 when they burn food to get energy.
![Page 19: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Carbon Cycle4. Deposition: When organisms decay, carbon is
trapped in sediments underground that eventually form rocks or fossil fuels.
![Page 20: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Carbon Cycle5. Human Activity: Burning fossil fuels in factories
and cars releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
![Page 21: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Carbon Cycle6. Decomposition: Energy-rich, carbon-based
compounds formed from the decaying bodies of buried organisms.

Carbon Cycle – In the Ocean7. Photosynthesis: Phytoplankton are Producers
in the Ocean 8. Feeding: Phytoplankton (Producers) are eaten
by consumers.9. Respiration: CO2 is released when organisms
burn food.

Carbon Cycle10. Erosion: Rocks break down, releasing carbon
into the soil or ocean where it can be used by organisms.

Carbon Cycle11. Volcanic Activity: CO2 released into the
atmosphere

Nitrogen Cycle
![Page 26: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle• Nitrogen is important for making proteins and
DNA• Nitrogen makes up ¾ of our atmosphere• N2 (Nitrogen gas) cannot be used by living things until it
is changed into Nitrates, Nitrites, or Ammonia
![Page 27: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle1. Fertilizers: Humans add usable nitrogen
directly to soil.
![Page 28: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle2. Nitrogen Fixation: Bacteria in the roots of
plants change nitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3) so that plants can use it.
![Page 29: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle3. Lightning: Changes nitrogen gas into nitrate
and nitrite.

Nitrogen Cycle4. Uptake: Producers take up usable nitrogen from
the soil and ocean.
![Page 31: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle5. Consumers: Obtain nitrogen by eating plants.

Nitrogen Cycle6. Excretion: Urine returns nitrogen to the soil. Decomposition: When organisms decay, nitrogen
is returned to the soil.
![Page 33: Biogeochemical Cycles](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5681666c550346895dda05d1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle7. Denitrification: Some bacteria change usable
nitrogen back into nitrogen gas (N2) which goes back into the atmosphere.

made fertilizer2. What are the three ways that ammonia (NH3) are formed?Nitrogen fixing bacteria, decomposition,
excretion, deposition
