Cycles
Carbon and Nitrogen Cycle
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | This process requires oxygen to break down chemical energy into usable energy and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. |
| Photosynthesis | This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. |
| carbohydrates | This biomolecule is made by a tree. |
| fossil fuels | If burned, coal and oil will release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. |
| waste | When animals digest food they are able to add nitrogen into the soil by removing their digest food from their bodies. |
| Nitrification | This is the process of converting ammonia into a usable form of nitrogen. |
| nitrogen fixing bacteria | Nitrates are broken down by this micro organism |
| decomposers | This is can be a micro organism that will consume dead tissue. |
| Roots | This is found on an autotroph and has nodules, which have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen fixing bacteria |
| autotrophs | This organism is able to produce its own energy. |
| heterotrophs | This organism has to consume other organisms to gain energy for it's cells. |
| Glucose. | This molecule is the main source of energy for most organisms. |
| Carbon Dioxide | This molecule travels into the atmosphere, and is taken up by plants, and it is released by animals. |
| Oxygen | This molecule is released by plants and is taken up by animals. |
| nitrogen | This molecule has to be broken down by the bacteria found in roots in order to be used by animals. |
