THE NITROGEN AND CARBON CYCLES IN NATURE

THE NITROGEN AND CARBON CYCLES IN NATURE If we were to cremate the bodies of different living beings, we would see that the resulting ashes are surprisingly similar to one another: 95% percent of the time, they all break down into four elements sometimes referred to as the CHON acronym, namely Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. The Nitrogene Cycle. During the Nitrogene Cycle, plants absorb this element in the shape of nitrates and nitries. Nitrogen Fixation. How is Nitrogen returned back to the environment. The fastest method of global carbon transfer by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Continuous actions of natural cycles. - The Nitrogene Cycle - During the Nitrogen Cycle, plants absorb this element in the shape of nitrates and nitrites thanks to the action of bacteria - Nitrogen Fixation - Herbivores ingest the substances in their bodies, carnivores feed off herbivores - How is Nitrogen returned back to the environment - The Carbon returns to the atmosphere - Carbon is life’s most characteristic element. - The fastest method of global carbon transfer in by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. - Our body is made up of 100 quatrillions of atoms and billions of cells. Continuous action of natural cycles.
