Nutrient Cycle Questions: 1. What ’spheres’ are involved in nutrient cycling? The atmosphere‚ the lithosphere‚ the biosphere and the hydrosphere. 2. What is the law of conservation of matter or mass? That matter can neither be created nor destroyed and that nature is essentially a closed system. 3. Why does it matter that nature is basically a ’closed system’? It matters because since all the elements we rely on to support life on the planet are here and have been here and there isn’t

Carbon Dioxide from Cars U.S. states are beginning to attack another major source of global warming pollution besides power plants: your car. David Biello reports Cars in California offer a new kind of sticker shock this year: carbon. In addition to the familiar smog ratings‚ labels on new Cali cars rank them 1 to 10 based on greenhouse gas emissions. The best‚ a perfect 10‚ will emit less than 200 grams of greenhouse gases per mile. The bad ones more than 520. Vermont will also begin offering

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation 1. Rhizobium - Legume Symbiosis Many leguminous plant species can enter into a symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria‚ collectively referred to as rhizobia. The legumes belong to the order Fabales‚ family Leguminosae (alternatively Fabaceae)‚ in eurosid clade I (Doyle and Luckow 2003). Traditionally‚ three main subfamilies are distinguished: Caesalpinoidae‚ Mimosoidae and Papilionidae. Only one nonlegume‚ the woody plant Parasponia sp.‚ can be nodulated
