Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles

Explore some biogeochemical cycles with the Amoeba Sisters. First, this video covers cycling of carbon among carbon reservoirs! Then discover the importance of nitrogen, essential for amino acids and nucleotides, and learn about the nitrogen cycle! Expand details for table of contents. 👇 This video has a handout here: www.amoebasisters.com/handouts... Vocabulary discussed includes ammonification and denitrification.
Table of Contents:
Intro 00:00
Carbon Importance 1:20
Carbon Cycle 2:22
Nitrogen Importance 3:58
Nitrogen Cycle 4:24
The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinky's certification and experience in teaching biology at the high school level. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit: www.amoebasisters.com/about-us...

Thank you so much for having such vocal variety in your voice. I’m literally so tired but I have to finish this assignment and I could drop and fall asleep any second. But since you’re voice sounds so passionate and entertaining it makes me feel like I should be just as passionate about learning. So it’s not hard to stay up and learn. Thank you Sooooo much.

[@grayholmes1711]

Very informative. Thank you. By the way, I have a question. Which process has the longest geological history, the nitrogen cycle or carbon dioxide cycle?

[@g-dz9re]

nitrogen cycle

[@shaunhorton8976]

I would think the carbon cycle. "Ninety-nine percent of the gas molecules emitted during a volcanic eruption are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The remaining one percent is comprised of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and other minor gas species." (usgs.gov) Both cycles existed in the atmosphere and the earths crust. But living organisms were added into the system much later. Both were present when the earth was forming.
