1. The biochemical cycle is a cycle in which elements are rotated through the biotic and abiotic ecosystem.
2. Ecological models are limited in the fact that it is basic and not as complex as the “real thing”.
3. An herbivore is an organism that eats plants.
4. Decomposers break down harmful as well as beneficial bacteria.
5. Plants return water to the water cycle through transpiration.

1. Humans exhale carbon dioxide.
2. The photosynthesis not being circulated will unbalance the oxygen levels.
5. Phosphorus erodes into the ground and is then absorbed by plants and animals. The Phosphorus cycle startes in rocks. When it rains, the phosphates and other minerals are removed from the rocks and distributed in soils and the water.

1. They cars that run on gas and pollinate the air.
2. It would lessen the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere because it consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
3. Most of them are decomposers so it releases elements from dead material.
4. Nutrients are cycled through food chains, while energy is a one-way flow from the sun. You can recapture nutrients, but not energy.
5. The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.

1. Pollution, burning of wood, grilling out, and driving cars.
2. If we remove too much vegetation the oxygen level would lower and there wouldn’t be enough Oxygen but we would have too much carbon dioxide.
3. Bacteria plays a huge role in all three cycles because it helps the plants grow and get nutrients.
