BIOLOGY - Environment - Carbon Cycle part 1
Watch the first part of our Carbon Cycle videos, as part of environmental chemistry. Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun. As living things grow, they have to build up large...

The Earth Shouldn't Have Oxygen
A balanced carbon cycle produces as much CO2 as O2, and yet, there are 209,460 ppm of oxygen in the atmosphere and only 440 ppm of CO2 (up from the recent baseline of 275). My first thought was that the CO2 is temporarily stored in...

Biogeochemical Cycling
Paul Andersen explains how biogeochemical cycling is used to move nutrients from the environment into living material and back again. He explains the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorus cycle. He also...

BIOLOGY - Environment - Carbon Cycle part 2
Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun. As living things grow, they have to build up large polymer molecules from small molecules. Protein comes from joining amino acids together,...

The Aquatic Environment: Marine and Freshwater
Water covers 70% of the surface of the Earth, and serves as home to an incredible variety of living organisms. Most of that water is salty, or marine, while some is freshwater, and it is in constant motion through the hydrologic cycle....

The Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air, however neither plants nor animals can take nitrogen directly from the air because nitrogen is so unreactive. The nitrogen cycles shows the movement of nitrogen through the environment. Nitrogen is...

How To Reduce Carbon Dioxide In The Air
Through photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and split it and use it (and water) to make carbohydrates. So surely plants can help us reduce carbon dioxide in the air? Possibly... But equally, the carbon in plants is...
