Energy
Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive.
95% of the body is made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
These elements are common on Earth but unless the elements are in a chemical form that cells can use, organisms cannot use them.

Recycling
Energy and matter move through the biosphere very differently.

Recycling
Matter is recycled within and between ecosystems from one organism to another and from one part to another

4 Cycles
• Water Cycle• Nitrogen Cycle• Phosphorus Cycle• Carbon Cycle
![Page 6: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nitrogen Cycle• Where is nitrogen found?
– The atmosphere is the largest sink and is 78% nitrogen
– The soil– In plants & animals as amino
acids

Nitrogen Cycle
Free Nitrogen in the atmosphere must be “fixed” from a gas (N2)to a useable substance.
![Page 8: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nitrogen The process by which nitrogen is
“fixed” to a useable form is called Nitrogen Fixation.
Nitrogen fixation is a complicated process that can happen by:
bacteria in plant roots decomposers in soil (bacteria) lightning forest fires.

OTHER SNEAKY STEPS
Animal wastegives off nitrogen gas…
Decomposing bacteria release nitrogen as theybreakdown dead things.

HOW THE NITROGEN CYCLE WORKS
Denitrification: The escape of nitrogen into the atmosphere.

Phosphorus Cycle
Phosphorus is essential to all living organisms
Forms part of your DNA and RNA
Largest sink is the ground where it is stored in rocks and soil and released when they wear down

Carbon Cycle
Four Processes involved: Biological (photosynthesis and respiration)
Geochemical (volcanoes)
Mixed biogeochemical (fossil fuels)
Human activity (mining, burning fossil fuels)
![Page 17: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Carbon Sinks• Most of the carbon is stored
underground
• The largest active sink for Carbon dioxide is the oceans. They absorb most manmade carbon dioxide.
• The Carbon dioxide concentration of the Earth’s atmosphere is 387 ppmv or 0.0387%.

Carbon Cycle

Carbon DioxideCarbon will combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide
![Page 21: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Plants
Take in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen gas (O2) in the process of photosynthesis
![Page 22: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Photosynthesis
Remember that in a chemical reaction that…
Reactants → Products
In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react in the presence of sunlight to form oxygen and glucose.
![Page 23: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PhotosynthesisThe formula for photosynthesis is
Carbon dioxide + water → oxygen gas + glucose
We can balanced the equation and substitute the correct chemical symbols and it looks like…
6 CO2 + 6 H2O → 6 O2 + C6H12O6
![Page 24: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cellular Respiration
How do we get the energy that our cells need?
We eat to provide energy for our cells which in turn use that energy to carry out their jobs.
When the cells “burn” glucose for energy, the process is called cellular respiration.
![Page 25: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cellular RespirationOur cells take in oxygen and glucose from the
blood stream to use as energy and produce carbon dioxide and water as products.
We can balanced the equation and substitute the correct chemical symbols and it looks like…
6 O2 + C6H12O6 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Does this look familiar?
![Page 26: Cycles of Matter December 7 th, 2012. Energy Energy is crucial to an ecosystem but organisms need more than energy to survive. 95% of the body is made](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514043f550346e2488b4a6a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Paired processes
Why do you think Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are considered paired processes?
Photosynthesis6 CO2 + 6 H2O → 6 O2 + C6H12O6
Cellular Respiration6 O2 + C6H12O6 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
