How is carbon recycled in the environment?
We breath it out and plants breath it in. The plants breath out oxygen and we breath in, that's why we need our tree's and plants!!! Most Carbon Dioxide is removed from the atmosphere through the oceans. In particular the northern oceans. carbon is recycled when plant take it in from the atmosphere in the proccess of photosynthisis. it the passes through the trophic levels in the food web. when an animal dies decomposers and detritavors break down the dead matter and realese the carbon back into the atmosphere then the process begins again
The elements hydrogen carbon nitrogen and oxygen make up what percent of living matter?
96 %
Why can matter be recycled?
turtles
What 4 elements make up 96 percent of your body mass?
The four elements that make up most of living matter are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
What elements compromise the largest portion of living matter?
Carbon mostly but also nitrogen makes up the largest part of living things.
Why must matter be recycled through ecosystems?
The answer: the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle
What else becomes limited because amounts of matter and energy in an ecosystem are limited?
When we talk about matter in an ecosystem or the environment, we are talking about substances such as water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. These substances are examples of matter. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Water, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen must be recycled somehow in the environment, which also ensures that we do not use up or lose these essential materials.
Why is it necessary for water carbon nitrogen and oxygen to be recycled through earths ecosystems?
As energy and matter flow through an ecosystem, matter must be recycled and reused. Substances such as water, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus each pass between the living and nonliving worlds through biogeochemical cycles.
What is recycled in a biogeochemical cycle?
A substance (matter) like carbon, nitrogen, etc. (as opposed to energy, which isn't recycled. Energy flows just one way and is not recycled, unlike material substances.
What are some living components in an ecosystem that can be recycled?
Energy and matter-M
What four essential elements make up most of living matter?
The four elements that make up most of living matter are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.
How would i know if matter in the abiotic environment wasn't recycled?
nope
What would happen if the abiotic matter in the environment was not recycled?
If the a biotic matter in the environment was not recycled the world would end
Why must materials be recycled in the environment?
because we have only a limited amount of matter on earth
Which four elements make up approximately 96 percent of living matter?
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
What can compost be recycled to?
Amendments, fertilizers, mulches, and soils are what compost can be recycled to. The term compost identifies dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter which also is called humus. It represents the breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables whose end product assists -- or serves as -- soil.
What contributes most of the material found in humus?
Carbon and nitrogen -- through human-intervened composting or nature-induced erosion -- are most responsible for the organic matter in humus.Specifically, organic matter contains the organic compounds carbon and nitrogen. Carbon functions as the energy-driving source. Proper composting and erosion result in soil with a 10:1 ratio of carbon to nitrogen.
