Page 1: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

My Life’s a Circle

Page 2: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Matter Cycles

the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again.

WATER CYCLE

WATER IN ATMOSPHERE

PRECIPITATION EVAPORATION

WATER /ICE

Page 4: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

WATER CYCLE

EVAPORATION - liquid to gas PRECIPITATION - gas to liquid Organisms return water to the

atmosphere through TRANSPIRATION, PERSPIRATION, and EXCRETION

Carbon/Oxygen Cycle

CARBON DIOXIDE

PHOTOSYNTHESIS RESPIRATION

OXYGEN

Page 6: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Carbon/Oxygen Cycle

Photosynthesis – plants use CARBON DIOXIDE and release OXYGEN

Respiration – plants and animals use OXYGEN and release CARBON DIOXIDE

Page 7: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Carbon/Oxygen Cycle

Burning of FOSSIL FUELS increases the amount of CARBON DIOXIDE in the atmosphere.

This may be increasing the temperature.

(GREENHOUSE effect)

Nitrogen Cycle

NITROGEN GAS

NITROGEN FIXATION

DENITRIFICATION

NITRATES

ANIMALS PLANTS

Page 9: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Nitrogen Cycle

Nitrogen is necessary to make AMINO ACIDS

Nitrogen FIXATION is done by plants containing rhizobium bacteria.

DENITRIFICATION is the returning of nitrogen into the atmosphere

Page 10: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Population

A group of individuals of the same SPECIES that live in the same AREA at the same TIME.

Page 11: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Population growth rate

CHANGE IN THE # OF INDIVIDUALS

TIME

Page 12: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Biotic Potential

The rate at which a POPULATION will grow if all individuals SURVIVE and REPRODUCE at maximum capacity.

Page 13: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Growth Curve

Lag Phase – little or no increase in a population

Exponential Phase – population DOUBLES in a specific time interval and keeps DOUBLING in increasingly shorter periods of time.

Lag Phase

Page 15: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Carrying Capacity

The MAXIMUM number of individuals that the ecosystem is capable of SUPPORTING.

Limits to Growth

Density-dependent factors Density-independent factors

Page 18: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Density-dependent factors

As the DENSITY changes, these factors change

Space Food Predators

Page 19: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Density-independent factors

Factors that affect population that have nothing to do with DENSITY

Climate changes Natural disaster

Oh Deer!

Page 21: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Succession

The gradual, SEQUENTIAL replacement of POPULATIONS in an area

Page 22: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Pioneer Species

The first SPECIES to colonize an area

Page 23: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Seral Community

Intermediate COMMUNITIES

Page 24: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Climax Community

A community that will remain STABLE as long as it is left undisturbed

Page 26: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Primary succession

The sequential REPLACEMENT of populations of an area that has not previously supported LIFE

Example: Sand dunes, volcanic rock, glaciers removing soil, pavement

Page 27: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Secondary succession

The sequential REPLACEMENT of populations in DISRUPTED habitats that have not been totally stripped of soil and vegetation.

Example: FOREST FIRE, LOGGING, FARMING, MINING

Old field succession – Replacement of populations in abandoned farm fields

Page 28: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Succession in lakes

The transformation of CRYSTAL CLEAR BODIES OF WATER to dry LAND

Page 29: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Eutrophication

An increase in the amount of NUTRIENTS in an environment

Page 30: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Oligotrophic

A lake that is so low in NUTRIENTS that few organisms can LIVE in it.

Page 31: My Life’s a Circle. Matter Cycles n the movement of INORGANIC materials from the atmosphere or soil into living ORGANISMS and back again

Eutrophic

A lake with many NUTRIENTS in it.
