The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" 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 an enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Conversion of N2 The conversion of nitrogen (N2) from the atmosphere into a form readily available

solution and our final step was getting rid of the liquid waste and observing the copper powder at the bottom of our beakers. We noticed that although we performed many different chemical reactions on the copper‚ it never changed elements. The copper cycle supports the claim that copper is an element. Although it the copper changed color and state‚ it never disappeared or went away‚ it was there the entire time. If you mix nickel and hydrochloric acid‚ it produces water‚ nickel

LOGISTICS CYCLE Therefore the emphasis is on designing the logistics management information system and inventory management activities‚ rather than central-level activities such as quantification and procurement. However‚ as the logistics cycle demonstrates‚ all these functions are interrelated and so when the logistics system is designed‚ these other activities must be considered‚ such as ensuring that the data required for quantification are collected and that quality monitoring is incorporated

CHAPTER ONE COMPILER – A TRANSLATOR 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The compiler is a special type of computer program that translates a human readable text file into a form that the computer can more easily understand. At its most basic level‚ a computer can only understand two things‚ a 1 and a 0. At this level‚ a human being will operate slowly and find the information contained in a long string of 1s and 0s incomprehensible. A Compiler bridges this gap by translating or transforming the source code

Water carries nutritive elements to the cells and carries away waste materials and salts to the kidneys. c. Water serves as an important constituent of lubricants. * How is water distributed through the biosphere About 97 percent of all water is in the oceans. Three percent of all Earth’s water that is freshwater. The majority‚ about 69

The carbon cycle shows how carbon is recycled -Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants in order to carry out photosynthesis and make food. -The carbon from the carbon dioxide is used to make carbohydrates‚ fats and proteins that make up the plant body. For example the cell wall of plants is made from cellulose - a carbohydrate. -Some of this carbon is returned into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when the plant respires. When these plants are eaten by other animals this carbon becomes part
