Carbon and Nitrogen CycleSlide2
Carbon ©is an element …
In oceans
Air Soil And ALL LIVING THINGS:organic
Sugar, Coal and Diamond
Sugar, Coal and DiamondSlide3
Carbon moves through the atmosphere to plants
CO
2
is the gas that adds the sun going through photosynthesis.
The CO2 is pulled from the air and converted
to C for plant food.Slide4
Carbon moves from plant to animals…
in the Food chain the Carbon is moved from animals that eat plants
(herbivores)
and animals that consume them
(carnivores).Slide5
Carbon moves from plants/animals to the
ground
When plants and animals dies their bodies wood and decay bringing
C-Carbon
in the ground.Slide6
The buried carbon becomes FOSSIL FUEL
Coal is composed on CarbonSlide7
Carbon
moves from living things through the atomsphere
..EXHALE
Breathe in Oxygen
Exhale Carbon Dioxide
This process is called RESPIRATIONSlide8
Carbon
moves from fossil fuel to atmosphere when fuel is burned
Human burn fossil fuels to Heat.
This heat enters the atmosphere
as carbon dioxide
EACH YEAR ½ million tons
(100 million elephants) of C is released to atmosphere by fossil fuels then to our seawaterSlide9
Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the
Ocean
The oceans and other bodies of water soak up C0
2Slide10
Greenhouse Gas
Carbon is a greenhouse gas,
which keeps the earth warm.
Too much C causes the earth to become too hot and the planet becoming warmer.Slide11
Nitrogen CycleSlide12
Example Fish..they
need NitrogenSlide13
1.Nitrogen-fixation Atmospheric
Nitrogen-fixation Atmospheric:
Nitrogen
(N2) is oxidized at high temperatures (by lightning, in internal combustion engines) to make nitrite (NO2
) (which is deposited throughout the
atomsphere
)
Slide14
2. Conversion of Ammonia
Conversion to Ammonia. As amino acids and nucleic acids require N in the form of Ammonia, if nitrate (NO3) present, it must be converted to NH3. Slide15
3. Biological Use
Step 3: Biological Use. Ammonia is incorporated into proteins, nucleic acidsSlide16
4. Organism dies…
Step 4:
When organism dies, ammonia is released back into the biosphere through the process of Ammonification, in which water is added to proteins to make carbon dioxide and ammonia.Slide17
5. Bacteria to Nitrite
Step 5: If ammonia released into oxygen rich (
anerobic) soil, other bacteria can convert it into nitrite or nitrate through the process of Nitrification: NH4+ + 2O2 = NO3- + H2O + 2H.Slide18
6. Nitrate as an Oxygen source
atmospheric N2 through the process of
Denitrification. In this process, bacteria use nitrate as an Oxygen source for respiration: C6H12O6 + 4NO3- = 6CO2 + 6H2O +Slide19
