Recycling organic waste Carbon cycle Decay processes B1.5 Energy in biomass Recycling organic waste Energy transfers Pyramids of biomass

Pyramids of biomass Biomass is the amount of living thing available to the next level in a food chain – the mass of material in living organisms It is the total mass without the mass of water (dry mass in grams) Pyramids of biomass show how much energy is available at levels in a food chain

Energy transfers Much of the energy lost in: Movement (muscles contracting) Heat Keeping a constant body temperature (energy needed to keep warm or cool down) Waste (herbivores can’t digest all they eat, excess protein passed out as urea) 1110 KJ in heat loss 3060 KJ in food 1797 KJ in urine and faeces

Decay processes Detritus feeders (e.g. Maggots, worms) start the process by eating dead animals and producing waste material Conditions for decay: Warm Chemical reactions in microorganisms work faster when warm Reactions slow down and stop if too cold, enzymes denatured if too hot Moist Easier to dissolve food, prevents drying out Plenty of oxygen Decomposers respire, need oxygen to release energy Decomposers (microorganisms) digest everything, using some of the nutrients to grow and reproduce They produce waste products – CO2, water and nutrients This recycling means the soil contains mineral ions plants need to grow and cleans up dead organisms Uses: sewage treatment works, compost

Carbon cycle The amount of carbon is fixed Photosynthesis: green plants and algae remove CO2 from the atmosphere – passed on when plants are eaten Carbon dioxide + water  glucose + oxygen Respiration: living organisms use oxygen to break down glucose CO2 is a waste product. Decomposers respire too Glucose + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water Combustion: fossil fuels contain carbon , when we burn then CO2 is produced Fuel + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water

Recycling organic waste Organic waste – (e.g. Vegetable peelings) doesn’t rot easily in landfill, it forms a liquid that can pollute waterways and methane gas which contributes to global warming Making compost: To speed up the process: Mixing regularly helps oxygen get in Warmer conditions (up to about 70C) Moist conditions Methods: compost heap, black bag, compost bin, council composting
