Human Impact on the Carbon‚ Nitrogen‚ and Phosphorus Cycles Danielle Abbadusky Everest University Human impact on the cycling matter in ecosystems can change a lot of things. Humans can either help or hurt things. The carbon‚ nitrogen and phosphorus cycles are the three cycles of matter in ecosystems. What are these cycles? How do humans effect each one of these individual cycles? What are some examples of humans effecting these cycles? What is the carbon cycle? “Sequence of processes through

Disaccharides Sucrose A crystalline disaccharide of fructose and glucose‚ C12H22O11‚ found in many plants but extracted as ordinary sugar mainly from sugarcane and sugar beets‚ widely used as a sweetener or preservative and in the manufacture of plastics and soaps‚ also called saccharose. Sucrose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and the most common transport sugar in plants. It is also a no reducing disaccharide‚ and is synthesized in the cytosol via the phosphorylated intermediate

If you want to live a longer life‚ health care should be your own responsibility. Firstly‚ we should get a balanced diet every day. A balanced diet is one which has the right amount of carbohydrate‚ proteins and other materials. Our bodies need nutrients to build up and repair tissues‚ thus‚ you are encouraged to eat plenty of vegetable and fresh fruits which are essential for our body. Besides‚ we should reduce our intake of high salt and sugar‚ for instance‚ fast food and process food. If we take
