Describe the path of nitrogen through its biogeochemical cycle?
Nitrogen gas in the soil is used by plants, which are eaten by animals. The waste products of the animals contain the nitrogen. It is broken down by bacteria, which releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere, and the cycle repeats.
Livestock farming creates large amounts of animal waste How would this affect the nitrogen cycle?
this is a very hard question i don't even know we are learning this in 8th grade too
Is animal waste part of the Carbon Cycle?
It is part of the nitrogen cycle
How does nitrogen leave an animals body?
their waste
How does human interaction impacts the nitrogen cycle?
Humans impact the nitrogen cycle by burning fossil fuels, dumping waste in bodies of water, and using fertilizer.
How do plants contribute to the carbon cycle?
Plants use carbon dioxide to make food and grow, and they give off oxygen as a waste product. Animals, however, need that oxygen to live.
What role does decay play in the nitrogen cycle?
The decomposers , bacteria, and fungi, break down waste and dead organisms returning nitrogen they contain back into the soil.
What do plants obtain from animals?
Plants can obtain a variety of things from animals. The main things are CO2 from the exhaust of mammals, and the minerals/nutrients from animals' waste. Nitrogen from chicken waste is a very good example.
What impact do insects and animals have ont the carbon cycle?
Animals and insects form a part of the carbon cycle, eating and breathing, and then releasing the carbon as gas and waste.
How do animals and plants get nitrogen from the nitrogen cycle?
They use the nitrogen in the food they eat to form their bodies, particularly proteins. They throw out excess nitrogen with the help of excretion, and their bodies are decomposed after death into various forms of nitrogen, too.
What is the production of ammonia by bacteria during the decay of animal waste called?
The production of ammonia by bacteria during the decay of nitrogen-containing urea is called nitrogen cycle. The process of combining nitrogen gas with hydrogen to form ammonia is called nitrogen fixation.
How has humans intruded on the nitrogen cycle?
The disposing of sewage into water is one way humans interfere with the nitrogen cycle. Humans are also responsible for releasing large amounts of NOx gasses into the atmosphere, which interferes with the nitrogen cycle as well.
