TUESDAYDO NOW•Q: why is it important to living organisms that

nutrients cycle? A: Nutrients continue to be recycled by waste from the cows as well as humans or predators that eat cows.

UNIT OBJECTIVES

Add on to each QUESTION every night as REVIEW!

8---EXPLAIN the importance of nutrients to living organisms 9---COMPARE the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients

Vocabulary

These should

be done by test

day!

-matter-nutrient-biogeochemical cycle-denitrification-nitrogen fixation

2.3 CYCLING OF MATTERWHAT YOU WILL LEARN-the importance of nutrients to living organisms

-the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients

-LAW of CONSERVATION of MATTER -matter cannot be created or destroyed-matter must be naturally cycled through environment

-NUTRIENTS-plants obtain nutrients from air, soil, water-plants convert elements & compounds into organic molecules they use for life processes-bodies of organisms are built from water & nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, & phosphorus

BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES—background info

flow of energy-Nutrients flow through organisms in an ecosystem

-producer → consumer →ecosystem -Decomposers return nutrients to cycle at every level

Ex: grasscowhumansback to air, soil, water -Cycling nutrients involves: –matter in living organisms –physical processes such as weathering & erosion

READING Q’sMAIN IDEA:

-nutrients move through the biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem.

READING Q’sDETERMINE: Why cycles in the biosphere are called biogeochemical cycles

-BIOLOGICAL : relate to living things-GEOLOGICAL: relate to rocks/minerals-CHEMCIAL: relate to chemicals

READING Q’sIDENTIFY:-the missing steps of the water cycle pictured on pg. 46

PRECIPITATION

EVAPORATION

READING Q’sSUMMARIZE:-How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

-PHOTOSYNTHESIS-release oxygen

-RESPIRATION-release carbon dioxide

READING Q’sDETERMINE:-What captures the atmospheric nitrogen?

-nitrogen fixing bacteria-found in water, soil, plant roots

READING Q’sNAME:-the nitrogen compound that is changed by organisms in the soil

-AMMONIA

ActivityWatch video clips and capture the ecological relationships between ocean species
