herbivores that feed off of them in which humans only need about 2‚000 of them daily. Figures 4-13 and 4-14 explain the nutrient cycle and nitrogen cycles. In the atmosphere carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants that then pass through the food chain which is then released back into the environment as decomposition (Chiras‚ 2013). Carbon dioxide is recycled back and forth between the atmosphere‚ plants‚ and animals through respiration and waste. People should care about this cycle to understand how this

travels through the food chains and returned to sediment. When the main reservoir of the nutrient is the atmosphere it is considered a gaseous cycle. The carbon and nitrogen cycles are gaseous cycles. Carbon enters the environment during photosynthesis and is returned through cellular respiration. Nitrogen enters the cycle by nitrogen fixation and results in ammonia and nitrates that are carried to the Earth by precipitation. Once they entered into

Lil Dejay C4 2/10/14 Photosynthesis: Making Energy Chloroplasts Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis‚ and to store food energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment‚ chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum‚ and reflects only green and yellow

important tool for the organic chemist in that it not only creates new carbon-carbon bonds‚ but it also creates six-membered rings1. This attribute of the Diels-Alder reaction is especially valuable‚ because there are few synthetic methods of creating six-membered ring structures. The process of a DielsAlder reaction involves a substituted alkene reacting with a conjugated diene in the cis conformation to create two new carbon-carbon σ bonds which results in the formation of a six-membered ring‚ as shown
