    Ecological biochemistry involves the transfer and transformation of elements and chemicals between and within organisms. There are two main types of nutrient cycles - gaseous cycles, which move elements through the atmosphere like oxygen and carbon dioxide, and sediment cycles, which involve processes like weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition of nutrients in sediment. Major nutrient cycles include the hydrologic cycle of water, the atmospheric cycle of gases, and the sedimentary cycle of land to water to sediment. Bacteria play an important role in these cycles, for example Rhizobium fixes nitrogen in legumes and Azotobacter does so in cyanobacteria.

    AQUATIC ECOLOGY

    ECOLOGICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
    CHAPTER REVIEW
    WHAT IS DEFINITION:
    ECOLOGICAL PROCESS THAT INVOLVES
    BIOCHEMISTRY?
    IN CHANGING THE
    ELEMENTS, CHEMICAL,
    AND OTHER THINGS WHICH
    ARE TRANSFERRED FROM
    ONE ORGANISM TO
    ANOTHER ORGANISM.
    FROM ONE PART TO
    ANOTHER.

    THE SYNONYM:
    NUTRIENT CYCLE
    Two types of
    nutrient cycle:

    GAS SEDIMENT
    - MOVES THROUGH THE LAND -> WATER -> SEDIMENT
    ATMOSPHERE
    - MAIN RESERVOIR IS THE OCEAN
    AND THE ATMOSPHERE.
    MAJOR TYPES OF NUTRIENT CYCLES:

    HYDROLOGY CYCLE ATMOSPHERIC CYCLE SEDIMENTARY CYCLE

    WHAT KIND OF WATER FORM THAT WHAT ELEMENT THAT EXIST IN WHAT ARE THE PROCESS THAT
    CYCLES THROUGH THE BIOSPHERE? GASEOUS FORM IN THE ATMOSPHERE? INVOLVES IN THE SEDIMENTARY
    CYCLES?
    WATER, ICE, LIQUID WATER VAPOUR OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, WEATHERING, EROSION,
    TRANSPORTATION, DEPOSITION,
    SEDIMENTATION
    HYDROLOGY CYCLE
    Bacteria involved:

    1. Rhizobium (Legumes)
    2. Azospirillum (Cereal grass)
    3. Azotobacter (cyanobacteria)
    4. Enterobacter spp. (Beach
    sediment)
    5. Klebsiella spp. (Intertidal
    sediment)
    6. Vibrio spp. (Seawater)
