Nutrient cycles

Guidelines for Biology Research work

Students could research on carbon cycle/Water cycle or Nitrogen cycle.

Presentations should include images, videos and written matter which include the points given beloweach nutrient cycle.

Carbon cycle

-Describe the carbon cycle, limited to photosynthesis, respiration, feeding, decomposition, fossilisationand combustion

-Discuss the effects of the combustion of fossil fuels and the cutting down of forests on the carbon dioxideconcentrations in the atmosphere

- Extension – what is meant by ‘carbon neutral’

Water cycle

-Describe the water cycle, limited to evaporation, transpiration, condensation and precipitation

Nitrogen cycle

Describe the nitrogen cycle in terms of:

­ decomposition of plant and animal protein to ammonium ions­ nitrification­ nitrogen fixation by lightning and bacteria­ absorption of nitrate ions by plants­ production of amino acids and proteins­ feeding and digestion of proteins­ deamination­ denitrification

State the roles of micro-organisms in the nitrogen cycle, limited to decomposition, nitrification, nitrogenfixation and denitrification (generic names of individual bacteria, e.g. Rhizobium, are not required)

Note:

Refer to search engines / newspaper / reference books and prepare a powerpoint presentation .
