Analysis Questions: Cycles of Matter 1. Explain the role of decomposing bacteria in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. In the carbon cycle‚ decomposing bacteria release carbon from the decaying bodies or waste into the atmosphere. Without them‚ it won’t be able for any organism to access the carbon stored in dead bodies. In the nitrogen cycle‚ decomposing bacteria breaks down animal waste‚ which creates ammonia and nitrate products rich in nitrogen. Although no animals or plants cannot directly

Topic 9 - The Carbon Cycle Aspects of the carbon cycle are similar to the hydrologic cycle because both are good examples of “Interactions between the systems". Textbook – topic not covered in text. http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/ The Carbon Cycle Neglecting the small amount of carbon (C) added to Earth by meteorite impacts‚ there is a fixed amount of carbon on Earth (~800‚000 billion tonnes). All living things are made of carbon but carbon is also a part of the ocean‚ air‚ and

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Environmental pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. It is an issue that troubles us economically‚ physically and everyday in our lives. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse change. Pollutants‚ the components of pollution‚ can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants We all live on earth which‚ is but a planet‚ – and the only planet known to have an environment

WATER CYCLE Water Cycle‚ also known as hydrologic cycle‚ is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth ’s supply of water. This is important because humans‚ animals‚ and plants all need water to survive. It is controlled by the sun‚ which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world ’s oceans‚ lakes‚ etc. to warm and evaporate. As the water is heated‚ it changes its phase from liquid to gas. This gas is called water vapor and this process is called

The intelligence cycle is taught to all new analysts stepping into the intelligence community. It is basically a circle moving from one step to the next and then‚ rinse and repeat. According to Keithly (2010)‚ “The process generally divides intelligence efforts into six phases: (1) direction and planning‚ (2) collection‚ (3) processing and exploitation‚ (4) production‚ (5) dissemination and integration‚ and (6) continuous evaluation” (p. 2). It would be important to remember these phases revolve

In economics‚ inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.[1] When the general price level rises‚ each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently‚ inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy.[2][3] . Positive effects include ensuring that central banks can adjust real interest rates (to mitigate recessions)

The Main Parts of the Water Cycle The main parts of the water cycle are evaporation‚ condensation‚ and precipitation. They go together in a circle/cycle called the water cycle. None of these parts can be missing. (Well‚ everything in the water cycle is needed.) Evaporation- Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor and flows up into the sky. You can’t see it because it’s now gas and gas is invisible. Evaporation usually happens on hot‚ rainy days because the sun’s energy

------------------------------------------------- The Processes of the nitrogen cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" (see page on nitrogen fixation)‚ in order to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic

The Communication Cycle The communication cycle has six different stages that help you communicate your ideas. It also takes into consideration how you put your idea across e.g. body language. The communication cycle can help you to communicate in difficult circumstances where it may be hard to put your ideas across or it may be a sensitive subject. The Six Stages; 1. Ideas occur You have an idea that you want to communicate. 2. Message coded You think about how you are going to
