CARBON AND NIROGEN CYCLE

Key words in Carbon Cycle

Carbon Plants Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration Fossil fuels Coal and Oil Decaying Organisms

Key words in Nitrogen Cycle

Nitrogen Nitrifying Bacteria Plants Animals Ammonium/Ammonia Nitrates/Nitrites Decomposing animals Denitrifying Bacteria

Explain Carbon Cycle

Carbon in atmosphere is absorbed by plants (photosynthesis organisms) these plants are eaten by animal cellular respiration is released by plants and animals. Overtime the animals decay and release fossil fuels example Coal and Gas These fossil fuels are burned in factories releasing more Carbon dioxide into atmosphere

Explain Nitrogen Cycle

Nitrogen in atmosphere is absorbed by plants with nitrifying bacteria in soil turns ammonia/ammonium into nitrates/nitrites animals eat these plants overtime the animals start to decay releasing ammonia into soil denitrifying bacteria then turn nitrogen back into gas and is release into the atmosphere

where can nitrogen and carbon be found

Compost
