what is a closed system?
a system (like our world) that cannot add or remove resources -resource management
what are 2 nutrient cycles
carbon/oxygen - photo syn. and cellular respiration
nitrogen
carbon/oxygen cycle
C6 H12 06 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + E
—> cellular respiration
she’ll diagram and lewis diagram
shell : uses dots of 2,8,8,8….
lewis: shows the valence shells (when bonded it splits in the middle)
photosynthesis
conversion of solar energy into chemical energy
respiration
real ease of chemical energy by taking in O2
eutrophication
buildup of excess N2 in water
ice age
flooding (coast) and extreme weather
nitrogen cycle
atmospheric nitrogen turns to ammonia through the process of nitrogen fixation (nitrogen joining with hydrogen). ammonia turns to nitrate in the process of nitrification (creation of nitrates and release of H and join if O). though the process of denitrification (breakdown into elemental N and O) breaks back down into Nitrogen and Oxygen
sustainable development
development or growth if a system
industrial revolution
consumption increased during this time
dead leaf
when a leaf dies, decomposers break it down into elements that are reabsorbed
how to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
plant more trees
carbon capture
reduce consumption
