Carbon Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release

The Main Parts of the Water Cycle The main parts of the water cycle are evaporation‚ condensation‚ and precipitation. They go together in a circle/cycle called the water cycle. None of these parts can be missing. (Well‚ everything in the water cycle is needed.) Evaporation- Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor and flows up into the sky. You can’t see it because it’s now gas and gas is invisible. Evaporation usually happens on hot‚ rainy days because the sun’s energy

Cycles in Biology Cycles in biology play a fundamental role in the world that we live in. Cycles occur all around and inside of us in many different forms‚ from the Krebs to the Calvin cycle. There are large scale cycles happening and they are essential in regulating the nutrients and substances that are around us which without‚ life on earth could no function. One of the largest cycles that occurs all around us is in everyday life is the carbon cycle. The current atmospheric

Oxygen cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The oxygen cycle. The Oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of oxygen within its three main reservoirs: the atmosphere (air)‚ the total content of biological matter within the biosphere (the global sum of all ecosystems)‚ and the lithosphere (Earth ’s crust). Failures in the oxygen cycle within the hydrosphere (the combined mass of water found on‚ under‚ and over the surface of a planet)

THE ROCK CYCLE ● ● ● ● There are three main types of rocks: igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic. Each of these types of rocks are formed in different ways and each type of rock can be changed into the other types of rock. This process is called the Rock Cycle. The rock cycle is the process that makes and recycles rocks. IGNEOUS ROCKS ● ● ● ● ● ● Igneous rocks are formed from magma. Magma cools and solidifies into rock. When igneous rocks are exposed on the surface‚ time and weather break the

The Accounting Cycle Five Cycles of Accounting The accounting cycle consists of five components: revenue‚ expenditures‚ financing‚ conversion‚ and fixed assets (Bagranoff‚ Simkin‚ & Strand‚ 2008). There are many business activities within a company that will take place in each of these cycles. The revenue cycle incorporates sales and cash receipts. Expenditures are the decrease in cash assets to acquire goods or services necessary to operate. The conversion cycle is a continual process that

The business cycle is like a roller coaster and this roller coaster definitely has its dips and peaks. In the cycle there are expansionary periods‚ peaks‚ downturns‚ and troughs. Each one is part of and essential in the cycle. Like a roller coaster you will go up and reach a peak and then you will have to drop. Although just because you drop does not mean you will reach the lowest point of the ride. Just like a coaster the business cycle has its high peaks and plunging drops. So lets start the

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
