Cycling of Matter Notes :)
CORNELL notes
13.5cycling of matter
D describe now all matter can change but it neverdisapears its a continuouscycle
he cycles are the hydrologiccycleis the circularpathwatertravelsaround earth
connected and when precipitationfalls to earth the water will flow to waterways
now they are water can also evaporate into theatmosphere or transpirate

nergy nitrogen fixation convert nitrogengas into ammonia
only a few cyanobacteria fix nitrogen into aquatic ecosystems
some nitrogenfixing bacteria are free in soil
some ammonium is taken up by plants but its usually used
as an energy source to nitrifying bacteria
through nitrification this bacteriachange ammonium to nitrate

three things I learned were how many forms of carbon there are what the
nosphorus cycle is does and what the process of ammonification is and how
t plays a big role in the carbon cycle
Wo things I thought were interesting were how many forms of carbon there are and
verything is connected in a cycle these facts stuck out to me in the reading
ne question I still have is now carbon getstraped in sinks making it unavalible
