Nutrient cycle

ALL Know that nutrients are recycled in the environment

MOST Describe the role of microorganisms in recycling nutrients

SOME Explain how carbon is recycled in the carbon cycle

Nutrient cycles producer Herbivore (primary consumer) Carnivore (secondary consumer) Top consumer EXCRETION (waste material) Death and decay These remove material from the environment for growth These organism return materials back to the environment PAGE 9 & 10 Recycling Decomposers Decomposers

Decomposers include…. fungus bacteria

Decomposers need…. MOISTURE AIR WARMTH

Use knowledge to complete diagram CONSUMERS PRODUCERS NUTRIENTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT DECOMPOSERS breakdown breakdown feeding Photosynthesis Producers Decomposer Consumers Nutrients in environment

‘ Things’ that can be decomposed by decomposers are known as…. biodegradable

Detrivores (also known as detritus feeders ) shred dead material into small pieces Speeds up the process of decomposition by decomposers Without them the process of decomposition would take very much longer Detrivores
