Elements essential for life C H O N S P and others in smaller quantities K Na Mg Mn Fe Mo Cl etc N up to 2 of dried plant biomass Atmospheric N2 not available to organisms Why . Science 10. What is science?. Brainstorm: What is science?. What is science?. Science is the study (or way of looking at) the natural (or “not made by humans”) world around us.. There are many different types of science, including biology (the study of life), chemistry (the study of matter) and physics (the study of matter & energy, and the interaction between them). Goal 3. Diversity, Evolution, and Behavior. The fish’s ability to adapt. The ecosystem of the fish. The ecosystem of the lake. The ability of the other fish to adapt. Lake. Lure is a man-made lake in NC. The floor of the lake is filled with dead trees and debris remaining from the time of its construction. Over time, these items have become the natural habitat of the organisms living in the lake. . Generalized Cycle. There are several natural cycles within an ecosystem.. Materials are continually being reused. There is no net loss of materials. Therefore life within the ecosystem is not challenged.. Please Do Now: What kind of Nitrogen is the typical end product of the process of decomposition?. Agenda. Do Now. Humans and the Nitrogen Cycle. Sick Fish video. Quiz time YAY!. Remember. Most of the Nitrogen on earth is in the atmosphere, as N2 gas (78% of the air we breathe) . Yang Fang . Graduate Student .

What can bean plants do that most other plants can't. ?. . No, they don't grow giant stalks to the clouds. Bean plants and other legumes (plants that have their seeds in pods) can use the nitrogen in the air to grow. It takes the help of special bacteria friends in the soil, and this relationship is unique to the legumes. Bacteria have transformed you into nitrogen gas and you are now part of the . atmosphere. !. Forest Fire! The wood you were within is burnt and you have been released into the . atmosphere. .. How did you arrive?. Everything is cycled throughout the planet!. Everything in nature is cycled throughout the entire planet. Since matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is changed, or transformed into many different things.. RAMI ITANI. What Matter Is Being Cycled. The matter that is being cycled is Nitrogen. Nitrogen is one of the main building blocks of life. Every living things need nitrogen to either breath or to grow. Nitrogen can be found almost everywhere.For example it can be found in the air,in soil, in water and even in volcanic gasses. Nitrogen is one of the most important elements on earth. UW Extension.
