Dispersal of organisms
Dispersal of organisms
• Movement of organisms from 1 place to another
• Dispersal is usually caused by wind, water or living things
• Species that evolve in an area are called native species
• Species that are carried to a location are exotic species.

Nutrient Cycles
Cycling maintains homeostasis (balance) in the environment.
•3 cycles to investigate:
1. Water cycle
2. Carbon cycle
3. Nitrogen cycle

Water cycle-
•Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation

•Photosynthesis and respiration cycle carbon and
oxygen through the environment.

Nitrogen cycle-
Atmospheric nitrogen (N2) makes up nearly 78%-80% of air.
Organisms can not use it in that form.
Lightning and bacteria convert nitrogen into usable forms.
![Page 78: 1 What is Ecology? copyright cmassengale. 2 Organisms and Their Environment copyright cmassengale](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e7e5503460f94b811cd/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Nitrogen cycle-
Only in certain bacteria and industrial technologies can fix nitrogen.
Nitrogen fixation-convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonium (NH4
+) which can be used to make organic compounds like amino acids.
N2 NH4+

Nitrogen cycle-
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria:
Some live in a symbiotic relationship with plants of the legume family (e.g., soybeans, clover, peanuts).
![Page 80: 1 What is Ecology? copyright cmassengale. 2 Organisms and Their Environment copyright cmassengale](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e7e5503460f94b811cd/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Nitrogen cycle-
•Some nitrogen-fixing bacteria live free in the soil.
•Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are essential to maintaining the fertility of semi-aquatic environments like rice paddies.
