4 Name Date Life Processes What is the difference between a living and nonliving thing? A living thing must carry out six basic life processes: get energy, use energy, get rid of waste, reproduce, grow, and respond to change. Nonliving things may be able to do one or two of these processes, but they cannot do all of them and are therefore nonliving. Use the phrases in the word box to label each example shown in the illustrations. getting energy using energy getting rid of waste growing reproducing responding to change Life Science 2004 Creative Teaching Press Introduction to Life Science 5
5 Name Date The Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle Matter is continuously cycled between the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem and between ecosystems. Matter is recycled, no new matter is added to the earth and none is lost. One example of this is in the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle. Match each term in the word box with its description. carbon dioxide oxygen photosynthesis marine algae decomposers producers consumers aerobic geologic activity fossil fuels Carbon is present in Earth s atmosphere in the form of this gas. The world s oceans hold most of the carbon in a dissolved form. These organisms use the carbon and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. Plants, also called this, use carbon dioxide to make their own food. This process, used by producers, releases oxygen into the atmosphere as a byproduct. These organisms cycle carbon through their bodies through the foods they eat. After they die and decompose, carbon is released back into the soil and atmosphere. The burning of these has put more carbon back into the atmosphere than can be cycled naturally. These organisms feed off of dead material and release the carbon back into the cycle. This type of respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct Examples of this include volcanic eruptions and weathering of limestone rock, both of which release carbon into the atmosphere. The respiration of consumers uses this gas and releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Life Science 2004 Creative Teaching Press 6 Introduction to Life Science
6 Name Date The Nitrogen Cycle Another important cycle is the nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen is necessary for life. It is found in all proteins that cells use for growth. The amount of nitrogen stays the same as it is cycled through living and nonliving things. Match each term in the word box to its description. lightning leaching ammonia legumes amino acids bacteria atmosphere decomposition nitrification animals Nitrogen is a building block of these, a component of protein in all living things. 80% of this consists of nitrogen, making it the largest reservoir of this element on Earth. Only certain bacteria, volcanic action, and this can break down nitrogen in the air and convert it into a form that enters food webs. Nitrogen is fixed into the soil for plants to use through the activities of this. Plants use nitrogen in the soil as they grow. Directly or indirectly, plants are the only nitrogen source for these. During this process bacteria and fungi break down wastes and remains of organisms into ammonia. This process occurs when water in the soil moves out of an area, taking the dissolved nitrogen and other nutrients with it. This plant crop is able to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil. Life Science 2004 Creative Teaching Press 9 10 During this process bacteria convert nitrogen in the soil and release it back into the atmosphere. When plants and animals die, their nitrogen compounds are broken down into this. Introduction to Life Science 7
