Cycles Within Ecosystems
Muhtasari
Carbon and nitrogen are essential to every living organism, yet there is a fixed amount of each element on Earth. If these elements were not recycled, life would have run out of raw materials long ago. Instead, natural processes move carbon and nitrogen through the atmosphere, soil, water and living things in continuous loops.
In this lesson you will trace the carbon cycle from photosynthesis through respiration, decomposition and combustion, and then follow the nitrogen cycle through the specialised bacteria that convert nitrogen into forms plants can absorb. Both cycles are tested regularly on Edexcel papers, and understanding them will also help you explain human impacts on the environment.
Malengo
- Describe the stages in the carbon cycle, including respiration, photosynthesis, decomposition and combustion
- Describe the stages in the nitrogen cycle, including the roles of nitrogen fixing bacteria, decomposers, nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria
