2.2 – Phosphorus Cycle
2
Review Time! What is the largest nitrogen store? Sedimentary rocks
The ocean The atmosphere The soil Organisms
3
Review Time! Nitrogen is stored in the atmosphere as N N2 NO3- NO2-
NH4+
4
Review Time! Which of the following processes represent nitrogen fixation? N2 NH4+ NH4+ NO3- NH4+ NO2- NO2- NO3- NH4+ N2
5
Review Time! How does nitrogen fixation happen?
Nitrogen oxides + H2O acid rain Nitrifying bacteria Nitrogen fixing bacteria Lightning Both B and D Both C and D
6
Review Time! Which of the following processes represents denitrification? N2 NH4+ N2 NO3- NH4+ N2 NO2- N2 NO3- N2
7
Review Time! What is shown in the picture? Green! algae boom
algal boom algae bloom algal bloom
8
Review Time! How does an algal bloom occur?
Too much N in the water from fertilizers Too much N in the water from sewage Too much N in the water from human waste Too much N in the water from animal farming All of the above
10
ATP adenosine triphosphate nucleotide carries energy within organisms PO43- HPO42- H2PO4-
11
Phosphorus cycles as PO4- by
weathering uptake by plants and animals decomposition run-off leaching sedimentation sedimentary rock formation geological uplift
12
Terrestrial organisms Marine life
Practice: Refer to P.9 of the Data Booklet. List the top five phosphorus sinks, from largest to smallest. __________________________________ What is the largest store of phosphorous? ___________________________________ Is there more phosphorous in marine organisms or terrestrial organisms? _______________________ How much phosphorous is in the atmosphere? _______________________ Which human activity has the largest effect on phosphorous? _________________________ Where do animals get their phosphorous? _____________________________ How much phosphorous dissolves from rocks and goes into the water? ___________________ Earth’s crust Ocean sediments Mineable phosphate Terrestrial organisms Marine life Earth’s crust Terrestrial organisms None Use of fertilizers Uptake of plants 1000 x 1012 g/year
14
too many plants in the way for farming
there are too many pests the soil lacks nutrients
