Ecosystem
Description
This is a mind map of ecosystems, and the cycling of mater. The mind map will show the cycling of energy by organisms, the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the carbon cycle.

Resource summary
Ecosystem
By Lilian Gance
Energy Flow of Organisms
Food Chain
A chain of organisms in an ecosystem, plus the sun
Food web
A web of organisms in an ecosystem, plus the sun
Energy pyramid
A pyramid of consumers in an ecosystem
Consumers
Decomposers
eats dead things
herbivores
plant eaters
Omnivores
both plant and meat eaters
Carnivores
Meat eaters
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy
Examples
Wolves
Organisms
A living life form, contains alteast one cell
Examples
Bacteria
Producers
Producers create their own food for energy
Examples
Plants
Nitrogen Cycle
Animals
help fertilize the soil the
Root systems
Roots create nodules that house the bacteria
Plants
Plants absorb ammonium and nitrate during the assimilation process then converts it into nitrogen.
Nitrogen Fixation
Any process that that creates nitrogen
Bacteria
Converts nitrogen gas into solid nitrogen
Soil
Soil holds the nitrogen deeded for plants to grow
Atmosphere
holds the gas nitrogen
lightning
the heat of the lightning can preform nitrogen fixation
Decomposers
nitrogen in dead things is converted back into gas
waste
when decomposed it adds nitrogen to the soil
Carbon cycle
Atmosphere
Carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the ground, then back to thee atmosphere, and so on...
Plants and Bacteria on land
Converts bicarbonate into organic mollicules
Plants and Bacteria in water
CO2 dissolves in water, and they make it into organic carbon
Animals
produce carbon
Sedaments and soil
Holds the largest preportion of carbon on earth.
fossil fuels
emit carbon
combustion
the process of burning fossil fuels
decomposition
dead animals turned into cerbon with bacteria
cellular respiration
releases energy in the carbon
Photosynthesis
turns CO2 into O2
water cycle
Atmosphere
holds precipitated clouds
runoff
precipitated water flowing down hills, and mountains
rivers
usually part of runoff, a stream of flowing water usually after precipitation.
lakes
body of water housing some runoff, and precipitation, and rivers. uses infiltration.
ocean
very large body of water housing runoff, precipitation and rivers
aquifer
large rocks holding large amounts of water underground
infiltration
lake water seeping underground tward the ocean
transpiration
water evaporating from a plant
Exhalation
animals peeing
evaporation
water from the ground turned into a gas
precipitation
raining water from the sky
condensation
when evaporated water cools down
