The nitrate, phosphate, and carbon cycle

The nitrate cycle -the natural circulation of nitrogen by living organisms. Nitrates in the soil, derived from dead organic matter by bacterial action (see nitrification, nitrogen fixation), are absorbed and synthesized into complex organic compounds by plants and reduced to nitrates again when the plants and the animals feeding on them die and decay


The phosphate cycle -The cycling of phosphorus between the biotic and abiotic components of the environment (see biogeochemical cycle). Inorganic phosphates (PO43–, HPO42–, or H2PO4) are absorbed by plants from the soil and bodies of water and eventually pass into animals through food chains. Within living organisms phosphates are built up into nucleic acids and other organic molecules


The Carbon cycle- The circulation of carbon between living organisms and their surroundings. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is synthesized by plants into plant tissue, which is ingested and metabolized by animals and converted to carbon dioxide again during respiration and decay


The nitrate and the carbon cycle happened in my bottle the reason I died is because of the nitrate cycle it was to many living things in my bottle that died then made me die my owner should of cleaned my water more then I probably would have lived longer . the carbon cycle happed before me and the other organisms died
