10. Essential Questions  How does matter and nutrients move through the ecosystem?

11. Matter  Anything that takes up space  Matter cannot be created or destroyed    (law of conservation)  Therefore... It must be RECYCLED by….  DECOMPOSERS

12. NUTRIENTS  Are needed by organisms in order to substain life  Recycled through biogeochemical cycles  The bodies of all organisms are built from  C- CARBON  N- NITROGEN  P- PHOSPHORUS

13. THE CARBON CYCLE  CARBON  Element Number 6  All living things are composed of CARBON  18% of Humans

14. CARBON- It gets around  1- During photosynthesis plants convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) to carbohydrate.  2 – These carbohydrates are the ENERGY at trophic levels.  3- When organisms die, decomposers break down materials and convert C to fossil fuels.

15. CARBON- It gets around  4 – When you breathe, carbon is released into the atmosphere  5– CO2 may be absorbed by water and released to the environment  6– FOSSIL FUELS are burned released back into the environment

16. Nitrogen (N) Cycle  Nitrogen is found in proteins  Largest concentration of gas in atmosphere (78%)  3% of Humans  Organisms cannot use nitrogen on their own SO…

17. Nitrogen Fixation  Process by which bacteria capture and convert N so its usable for plants  Consumers get N by eating plants or Primary Consumer  Primary Consumers use N to make proteins- essential for life

18. Nitrogen- It gets around  1– Nitrogen in ecosystem converted by bacteria, is useful for plants  2- Consumers eat plants  3- Consumers urinate (waste) and/or die

19. Denitrification  4-Denitrification- Bacteria convert Nitrogen (N) in soil back to atmospheric Nitrogen (N)  5- Atmospheric N is added back to water and soil

20. Water Cycle  Who can tell me the key terms for the water cycle?

21. The Water Cycle  Water Cycle Song Water Cycle Song

22. Exit Ticket  11. Where is the largest concentration of nitrogen found?  A. animals  B. atmosphere  C. bacteria  D. plants

23. Bell Ringer  What are the two major life processes that involve carbon and oxygen?  A. coal formation and photosynthesis  B. photosynthesis and respiration  C. fuel combustion and open burning  D. death and decay

24. Exit Ticket  What is dentrification?
