Recall…Recall…
“Matter is neither created nor destroyed”
Atoms simply change form… from molecule to molecule!

The result is Global Warming!

The Nitrogen Cycle:The Nitrogen Cycle:
Nitrogen is found as N2 in the air, in animal wastes and fertilizers, and in many organic molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.)

Here’s the problem:
Nitrogen gas (N2) is a very stable molecule and does not react easily. To be useful to organisms, nitrogen must be in the form of Nitrate ions (NO3
-)

The process by which atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted into nitrate ions (NO3
-)

Nitrogen Fixation by Bacteria
Most Nitrogen in an ecosystem fixed by bacteria.
Usually found in soil, but sometimes found on roots of plants
![Page 17: Cycling of Matter Nutrient Cycles. Cycling of Matter Nutrient Cycles: The movement of matter through living things, the physical environment and chemical](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56649ea75503460f94baaa17/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nitrogen fixation By Lightning
Energy causes nitrogen to react with oxygen in the atmosphere, forming nitrates.
Nitrates dissolve in water and enter the roots of plants.

THE ROLE OF DECOMPOSERS
Break down dead matter and return Nitrates to the soil and to plants!

But…how does Nitrogen return to the atmosphere?
Denitrification: The process of reducing nitrates into nitrogen gas

The Water CycleThe Water Cycle
Water is a necessity for the survival of all living things.
Used for photosynthesis, structure, reproduction, as part of many chemical reactions, etc.

Cycling of Matter – TO KNOW:Cycling of Matter – TO KNOW:
Matter cycles indefinitely on our planet. Atoms occur as part of many different structures as part of their natural cycle.
Cycling of matter can be fast or very slow.Cycling of matter is critical to ensure the return
of nutrients to living things.Human activities can alter these cycles.
Examples: Climate Change, Deforestation, Fertilizer and Pesticide use, Altering natural flow of water, etc.
