Law of Conservation of Matter: Matter can NOT be created or destroyed, it changes form
Biogeochemical cycles: matter is constantly being cycled through changing form

Bio = life Geo = earth Chemical= essential elements and
compounds H20= water C= carbon O=oxygen N= nitrogen CO2= carbon dioxide

Cycle= move from beginning to end Not always a beginning or end
Continuous Biogeochemical Cycle: essential
elements and compounds moving among living organisms (bio), the earth (geo) and atmosphere

Carbon Cycle ** Photosynthesis: process by which
plants use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar
Sun + CO2 + H2O C6H12O2 (sugar)
Cellular Respiration: process by which cells harvest the energy stored in food
C6H12O6 (sugar) CO2 + H2O + energy

Combustion: burning Uses O2
Releases CO2
Decomposition: organisms breaking down into simple elements.
