Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycle
Phosphorus Cycle
What is special about the Phosphorus Cycle?
Something special about the Phosphorus cycle is that is the only cycle that doesn't involved the atmosphere.
What is the Lithosphere? What special type of rock is rich in Phosphorus?
The Lithosphere is also know as the Earth's crust . A type of rock that is rich in Phosphorus are the sedimentary rocks that are in the old ocean floor.
What is a lithograph?
Lithotrop is a type of the rock eating bacteria .
How do Phosphates end up in the water? In the Soil?
They end up in the water by when some or these rocks are exposed they eroded into the soil , and then they dissolve into the water.
A single Phosphorus atom can get trapped in a cycle for how long?
It can get trapped in a cycle for it can go for a long time. It can be trapped into for 100,000 of years.
What are the main ingredients in fertilizers?
The main ingredients in fertilizers are nitrogen and phosphorus.
Why is too much of Nitrogen and Phosphorus bad for the environment?
Too much of Nitrogen and Phosphorus is bad for the environment because it carries a lot of nutrients that instead of giving benefits to certain ecosystems or living organisms , it descontrol the balance in which they usually are use to.

What percent of nitrogen and phosphorus are in an animal’s body?
The animal's body are made of 3% of nitrogen and 1% of Phosphorus.
2: What do we need Nitrogen to make?
We need Nitrogen to make ammoniac's which make proteins, that make our whole bodies up.
What do we need Phosphorus to make?
We need Phosphorus because its part of our DNA and RNA ,also is the "P" in PTA. Also we need it in order that nitrogen works. Water and rocks are good sources of Phosphorus.
What percentage of the atmosphere is Nitrogen? What form is atmospheric Nitrogen in?
78% percent of the atmosphere is made of Nitrogen. Nitrogen is in a form of nitrates NO3 and nitriteNO2.
What is Nitrogen Fixation?
Nitrogen Fixation is when nitrogen molecules breaks apart into nitrates and nitrite and also ammonium, all of this is in order to plants absorb the nutrients of nitrogen.
What are Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria?
They product of the nitrogen fixation.They are located into soil, water, to be more specific "Legumes".
What plants are in the Legumes Family? What does it mean that they form a symbiotic
relationship?
Legumes family is really huge, they can be peanuts, soybeans, clover, etc. Symbiotic Relationship means that two organisms are equally benefit from each other.
What does Nitrifying bacteria do
Nitrifying bacteria is encharged to take ammonia and convert it into Nitrates NO3- and Nitrites NO2.
What other things can break Nitrogen molecules apart?
Lightening have enough energy that can break nitrogen molecules apart. An humans have developed machines that can break synthetic nitrogen molecules apart.
