What Sustains Life on Earth?


                  • Solar energy, the
                    cycling of matter,
                    and gravity
                    sustain the
                    earth’s life.
Two Secrets of Survival: Energy Flow
        and Matter Recycle


                   • An ecosystem
                     survives by a
                     combination of
                     energy flow and
                     matter recycling.
Water’ Unique Properties
• There are strong forces of attraction between
  molecules of water.
• Water exists as a liquid over a wide
  temperature range.
• Liquid water changes temperature slowly.
• It takes a large amount of energy for water to
  evaporate.
• Liquid water can dissolve a variety of
  compounds.
• Water expands when it freezes.
• Water moves through the biotic and abiotic factors in the
  environment
• Ways water can move:
  – Precipitation
     • water moves from the atmosphere to the land in the
        form of snow, rain, sleet and hail.
     • During evaporation and transpiration (evaporation
        from plants and through skin) water cools and
        condenses, precipitation forms
     • About 91% falls into oceans. The rest falls on land to
        replenish the fresh water supply
   – Evaporation
       • Water moves from the land to the atmosphere
       • Ground Water – when precipitation seeps into the
          ground and becomes part of the water table
   Runoff
       Water that flows on top of the ground
The Carbon Cycle
• All living things have carbon in them
• All carbon that is on earth has been here since the
  earth was formed
• Photosynthesis – carbon gets taken out of the air and
  used by producers to make food
• Respiration- carbon gets put back into the air by
  animals when they exhale
• Decomposition – breakdown of dead materials by
  bacteria and fungi
• Combustion – carbon in fossil fuels is released while
  burning
The Carbon Cycle




Driven by biological forces:
photosynthesis and respiration
CO2 & CH4




15%/year
The Nitrogen Cycle

• 78% of the earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen
• Organisms cannot use nitrogen directly from
  atmosphere
• Nitrogen fixation- when bacteria in the soil change
  atmospheric nitrogen gas into usable nitrogen
• Lightening can also fix nitrogen
• Denitrification-different bacteria change usable
  nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen gas
Nitrogen Cycle
• natural cyclic
  process in the
  course of which
  atmospheric
  nitrogen enters the
  soil and becomes
  part of living
  organisms
Steps of Nitrogen Cycle
•   Nitrogen Fixation
•   Nitrogen Assimilation
•   Ammonification
•   Nitrification
•   Denitrification
Nitrogen Fixation
• nitrogen gas is converted into
  inorganic nitrogen compounds. It is mostly
  (90 percent) accomplished by free-living,
  nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria
• symbiotic bacteria living on the roots of
  plants (mostly legumes and alders)
• cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-
  green algae)
• archaebacteria (also known as archaea) in
  deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Nitrogen Fixation by Lightning
• The high energies provided by lightning
  and cosmic radiation serve to combine
  atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into
  nitrates, which are carried to the Earth’s
  surface in precipitation.
Steps of Nitrogen Cycle
•   Nitrogen Fixation
•   Nitrogen Assimilation
•   Ammonification
•   Nitrification
•   Denitrification
Nitrogen Assimilation
• are assimilation of nitrates and ammonia
  resulting from nitrogen fixation into the
  specific tissue compounds of algae and
  higher plants. Animals then ingest these
  algae and plants, converting them into their
  own body compounds.
Steps of Nitrogen Cycle
•   Nitrogen Fixation
•   Nitrogen Assimilation
•   Ammonification
•   Nitrification
•   Denitrification
Ammonification
• The remains of all living things—and their
  waste products—are decomposed by
  microorganisms which yields ammonia.
Steps of Nitrogen Cycle
•   Nitrogen Fixation
•   Nitrogen Assimilation
•   Ammonification
•   Nitrification
•   Denitrification
Nitrification
• a process carried out by nitrifying bacteria,
  transforms soil ammonia into nitrates,
  which plants can incorporate into their
  own tissues.
Steps of Nitrogen Cycle
•   Nitrogen Fixation
•   Nitrogen Assimilation
•   Ammonification
•   Nitrification
•   Denitrification
Denitrification
• The process where nitrates are metabolized
  by denitrifying bacteria to free nitrogen
  and returned to the atmosphere
Oxygen Cycle:


           oxygen
photosynthesis

            respiration

        carbon
        dioxide

Nutrient cycle by Uday sir

  • 1. What Sustains Life on Earth? • Solar energy, the cycling of matter, and gravity sustain the earth’s life.
  • 2. Two Secrets of Survival: Energy Flow and Matter Recycle • An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling.
  • 3. Water’ Unique Properties • There are strong forces of attraction between molecules of water. • Water exists as a liquid over a wide temperature range. • Liquid water changes temperature slowly. • It takes a large amount of energy for water to evaporate. • Liquid water can dissolve a variety of compounds. • Water expands when it freezes.
  • 4. • Water moves through the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment • Ways water can move: – Precipitation • water moves from the atmosphere to the land in the form of snow, rain, sleet and hail. • During evaporation and transpiration (evaporation from plants and through skin) water cools and condenses, precipitation forms • About 91% falls into oceans. The rest falls on land to replenish the fresh water supply – Evaporation • Water moves from the land to the atmosphere • Ground Water – when precipitation seeps into the ground and becomes part of the water table Runoff Water that flows on top of the ground

  • 6. The Carbon Cycle • All living things have carbon in them • All carbon that is on earth has been here since the earth was formed • Photosynthesis – carbon gets taken out of the air and used by producers to make food • Respiration- carbon gets put back into the air by animals when they exhale • Decomposition – breakdown of dead materials by bacteria and fungi • Combustion – carbon in fossil fuels is released while burning
  • 7. The Carbon Cycle Driven by biological forces: photosynthesis and respiration
  • 9. The Nitrogen Cycle • 78% of the earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen • Organisms cannot use nitrogen directly from atmosphere • Nitrogen fixation- when bacteria in the soil change atmospheric nitrogen gas into usable nitrogen • Lightening can also fix nitrogen • Denitrification-different bacteria change usable nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen gas
  • 10. Nitrogen Cycle • natural cyclic process in the course of which atmospheric nitrogen enters the soil and becomes part of living organisms
  • 11. Steps of Nitrogen Cycle • Nitrogen Fixation • Nitrogen Assimilation • Ammonification • Nitrification • Denitrification
  • 12. Nitrogen Fixation • nitrogen gas is converted into inorganic nitrogen compounds. It is mostly (90 percent) accomplished by free-living, nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • 13. Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria • symbiotic bacteria living on the roots of plants (mostly legumes and alders) • cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue- green algae) • archaebacteria (also known as archaea) in deep-sea hydrothermal vents
  • 14. Nitrogen Fixation by Lightning • The high energies provided by lightning and cosmic radiation serve to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates, which are carried to the Earth’s surface in precipitation.
  • 15. Steps of Nitrogen Cycle • Nitrogen Fixation • Nitrogen Assimilation • Ammonification • Nitrification • Denitrification
  • 16. Nitrogen Assimilation • are assimilation of nitrates and ammonia resulting from nitrogen fixation into the specific tissue compounds of algae and higher plants. Animals then ingest these algae and plants, converting them into their own body compounds.
  • 17. Steps of Nitrogen Cycle • Nitrogen Fixation • Nitrogen Assimilation • Ammonification • Nitrification • Denitrification
  • 18. Ammonification • The remains of all living things—and their waste products—are decomposed by microorganisms which yields ammonia.
  • 19. Steps of Nitrogen Cycle • Nitrogen Fixation • Nitrogen Assimilation • Ammonification • Nitrification • Denitrification
  • 20. Nitrification • a process carried out by nitrifying bacteria, transforms soil ammonia into nitrates, which plants can incorporate into their own tissues.
  • 21. Steps of Nitrogen Cycle • Nitrogen Fixation • Nitrogen Assimilation • Ammonification • Nitrification • Denitrification
  • 22. Denitrification • The process where nitrates are metabolized by denitrifying bacteria to free nitrogen and returned to the atmosphere
