Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen gas is a colourless‚ odourless and non-toxic gas which makes up about 78 percent of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is extremely important to living material; in fact plants‚ animals and humans could not live without it. Sprent (1987) argued that nitrogen cycle is the most important process to living organisms after the carbon cycle. But nitrogen exists as dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere‚ which living things‚ particularly plants‚ cannot synthesize (citation) The process of nitrogen

A cycle is defined as any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated in the same order and at the same intervals. The natural existence of cycles is highly important without cycles resources would run out and organisms would die. The amount of carbon nitrogen and oxygen on the earth is fixed‚ they can exists in different forms but no more may be added. So that these don’t run out they are cycles so they may be reused. Photosynthesis and respiration are the reverse of each

I will start by describing the carbon cycle and how elements of my lifestyle impact the cycle. Photosynthesis converts the Carbon dioxide gas that exists in the atmosphere and in dissolved water to organic carbon.

There are sources of organic carbon underground in the form of fossil fuels‚ human emissions and volcanic activity brings the stored carbon back into the cycle. As a human being who feed‚ move‚ breath
