The Carbon Cycle Poppy Matless Carbon is present in all living organisms. When organisms die‚ the carbon is recycled for future generations. 1. Carbon is released as CO2 via respiration and combustion 2. CO2 is absorbed by producers (grass‚ plants etc) 3. Animals feed off of the plant‚ passing on carbon throughout the food chain‚ losing some carbon as CO2 respiration. 4. When the animal dies‚ it is eaten by decomposers‚ and the carbon returns to the atmosphere 5. If decomposition

Sulfur Cycle Sulfur (S)‚ the tenth most abundant element in the universe‚ is a brittle‚ yellow‚ tasteless‚ and odorless non-metallic element. It comprises many vitamins‚ proteins‚ and hormones that play critical roles in both climate and in the health of various ecosystems. The majority of the Earth’s sulfur is stored underground in rocks and minerals‚ including as sulfate salts buried deep within ocean sediments. The sulfur cycle contains both atmospheric and terrestrial processes. Within the

The Rock Cycle & Classification of Rocks The rock cycle is the formation‚ breakdown and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary‚ igneous‚ and metamorphic processes. The rock cycle is an illustration that is used to describe how the three rock types are related and how Earth processes change a rock from one type to another over time. Each group contains a collection of rock types that differ from each other on the basis of the size‚ shape and arrangement of mineral grains. Due to the driving

linked with education. With the poor education system that is currently in place there is no way for many people to break out of what is called the cycle of poverty. The cycle of poverty is when people are unable to be educated so they are unable to get a job that pays enough to allow them to end the vicious cycle. There are a few causes for this cycle such as financial instability or the class sizes being too large. To begin with‚ students who are financially

Stages of Sleep The EEG (Electroencephalogram)of a waking person is clearly different than that of a sleeping person. The difference in EEG patterns that occur during sleep has made it possible to divide sleep into five different stages. Stage One We experience stage one of sleep when we are half asleep and half awake; our eyelids feel heavy‚ we feel groggy and suddenly without notice we fall asleep. Stage one counts for more or less 5% our total sleep during the night. Stage

The process of Nitrogen being released from Alanine‚ oxidized by soil microbes‚ absorbed by a root‚ and reduced and assimilated into aspartic acid is known as the Nitrogen Cycle. This cycle is necessary because there is a shortage of nitrogen in the soil; therefore‚ most of the soil nitrogen is obtained from dead organic materials such as Amino Acids. The first step in this process is nitrogen being released from the amino acid. This process is known as ammonification. Alanine is used as an organic
