Life of an atom Short Stories

Carbon Cycle

Hi, my name is Ceto, and I’m a carbon atom. you may see me hanging around the earth’s atmosphere most of the time, in the atmosphere, I’m called carbon dioxide. soon enough ill get absorbed by what we call producers, or plants. once the plants absorb us, they use us for photosynthesis by using the carbohydrates within us. the sun’s energy is then used to feed the plants. once the plant has gained enough carbon, they’ll get eaten by the animals. and thus the cycle continues.

Nitrogen Cycle

Greeting, my name is Nigel, I am a nitrogen atom. I am usually in the atmosphere with the rest of the nitrogen atoms. since I am currently in my Gaseous Form, I will not be used by the living organisms on earth. in-order for me to be of use, I must go through a cycle, where I am brought by bacteria from the atmosphere to earth where I will be given to plants for them to consume. once that phase has occurred, the plants will be eaten by the animals, the animals will then dispose of me through feces or other waste products.  Then I will be brought back to the soil and atmosphere, thus the cycle repeats itself.

Phosphorous Cycle

Hello, my name is Phil, and I am a phosphorous atom. I’m nowhere located in the atmosphere but located at the bottom of the sea, during my time in the sea, I am hardening and turning into a rock, but not just any rock, but a phosphate rock. in time I will then be uplifted to the surface of the of the sea, when I am a phosphate rock, I will erode and then be released from the rock and through the soil or streams, if I am in my soil form, I will be brought to the plants, but if I am in my water form, I will go into the ocean back to where I started, and the whole cycle restarts.
