Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

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

A nutrient cycle (or ecological recycling) is the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of living matter. The process is regulated by food web pathways that decompose matter into mineral nutrients. Nutrient cycles occur within ecosystems. Ecosystems are interconnected systems where matter and energy flows and is exchanged as organisms feed‚ digest‚ and migrate about. Minerals and nutrients accumulate in varied densities and uneven configurations across the
