Nitrogen Cycle Questions 1. Nitrogen is both the __most abundant element__ and in organisms it is the raw material of two main macromolecules __ammonia and nitrite which build proteins and _nitrates which build your genetic material‚ DNA. 2. In the atmosphere it is found in the form of N2 which is __nitrogen gas____. 3. These Nitrogen molecules then need to go through a process called __nitrogen fixation__ in order to be converted into molecules that living organisms can use readily. 4. Two forms

Carbon‚ Phosphorus and Nitrogen Cycles Humans have a great impact on each of the Carbon‚ Phosphorus‚ and Nitrogen cycles in the Ecosystem. The carbon cycle starts with the reservoir of the carbon dioxide in the air‚ the carbon atoms move from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis into atoms of organic molecules that form the plants body. These carbon atoms are then further metabolized and are eaten and turned into tissue that all organisms in the ecosystem use. Half of the atoms are respired

November 7‚ 2011 Plants and Nitrogen Lab Report Introduction: Plants need ammonia‚ a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen‚ or nitrate‚ a form of inorganic nitrogen to grow. Most nitrogen is found in the atmosphere. However‚ plants and animals cannot directly absorb the nitrogen found in the atmosphere. Instead nitrogen gas is captured from the air by species of bacteria that lie in the water‚ soil‚ or grow on the roots of some plants. These bacteria convert the nitrogen into a form usable by plants

Human Impact on the Carbon‚ Nitrogen‚ and Phosphorus Cycles Danielle Abbadusky Everest University Human impact on the cycling matter in ecosystems can change a lot of things. Humans can either help or hurt things. The carbon‚ nitrogen and phosphorus cycles are the three cycles of matter in ecosystems. What are these cycles? How do humans effect each one of these individual cycles? What are some examples of humans effecting these cycles? What is the carbon cycle? “Sequence of processes through

of the Global Nitrogen Cycle What is Nitrogen? Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the troposphere. Nitrogen cannot be absorbed directly by the plants and animals until it is converted into compounds they can use. This process is called the Nitrogen Cycle.

“How humans impact the Carbon‚ phosphorus‚ and nitrogen cycles” Christine Richardson Environmental Science May 1‚ 2013 The carbon cycle is based on carbon dioxide which is a very important element because it is a part of all life. All living things are made of elements such as oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ calcium‚ and phosphorus. There are such compounds that are necessary for life such as sugars‚ fats‚ proteins etc. that joins with carbon to form these essential
