Cellular respiration Process by which organisms create energy from sugar
Glucose+ Oxygenà CO2+ H20+ Energy (ATP)

Condensation
Condensation This is where warm and cold air collide and form ice crystals that condense and form droplets of water.
Creates clouds in the air or fog on the ground.

Condense
condense -to change from a gas to a liquid

Denitrification
Denitrification converts nitrates (NO3) in the soil to atmospheric nitrogen (N2) replenishing the atmosphere.
- removal of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds –Conversion of nitrogen to gaseous form

Evaporate
Evaporate -to change from a liquid to a gas
![Page 13: Ecological cycles vocabulary honors 2.04](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042614/555c27a4d8b42a0b418b4dd1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Evaporation
Evaporation - This is a process where the water is heated and turned into a water vapor. The sun is the main heat source for this process.

Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels - Carbon-rich fuel from ancient animals and plants
examples: coal, gas, oil

Nitrates
Nitrates - different form of nitrogen•Found in plant nutrient and fertilizer •Animal feed, manures, and sewage Nitrification:

Nitrification
Nitrification - Nitrifying bacteria in the ground first combine ammonia with oxygen to form nitrites. Then another group of nitrifying bacteria convert nitrites to nitrates which green plants can absorb and use!

Nitrogen
nitrogen -Nitrogen is a non-metal, gaseous element

Percolation
percolation - When water seeps through the soil and ends up in the water table. It then flows into the streams, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water. The process is then repeated again and again.
