Compare and contrast the nitrogen and phosphorus cycle
Phosphorus is important in living organisms as it helps in building the nucleotides and also the ATPs whereas nitrogen is an important component for the formation of amino acids and nucleotides .Inorganic Phosphorus is mainly found in soil and water which is assimilated through plants and algaes into their cells and converted to organic phosphorous and then transferred to other animals when they consumes these plants or algaes. In the other hand the our atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) but this can not be used directly by the living organisms so it has to be fixed and converted to ammonia by some free living and symbiotic bacteria and then it cycles through different living organisms converting itself to different chemical forms.After the completion of both the cycles both nitrogen and phosphorus are taken back to the atmosphere by denitrifying and decomposer bacterias. But the Phosphorus cycle mainly differs from the nitrogen as it does not undergo any gaseous phases like nitrogen cycle. Here the major steps of phosphorous and nitrogen cycle are shown in the diagrams.
12. Why is the phosphorus cycle described as less complicated than the nitrogen cycle? 13. A lake in New York State is fed by a watershed consisting of a single river on its northern end. For many decades this watershed has been forested. However, recently all of the trees on the northern end of the lake were logged. The roots were also removed, and all that remains is bare soil. What effect will this logging have on the watershed's hydrology...
What feature(s) of the phosphorus cycle differ(s) from the nitrogen cycle? Has a gaseous phase Exists with multiple redox states Transported in the dissolved phase Often a limiting nutrient Input via rainfall Can be transported adsorbed to particles A and B B and C D and F None of the above All of the above
Compare and contrast the phases of the business cycle. 175 Words Minimum.
Which one of the following statements about the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles is true? The major source of carbon used by plants is the carbonate rocks and soil. The major source of nitrogen used by plants in photosynthesis is the atmosphere. Phosphorus has no atmospheric component. Soil bacteria drive the phosphorus cycle.
Compare and contrast the "life cycle" hypothesis and the "permanent income" hypothesis. What are their respective implications for inequality in the income distribution?
Most fertilizers contain biologically useable forms of nitrogen and phosphorus. In what chemical form is phosphorus used by cells for biosynthesis? Name two different types of cellular macromolecules that contain phosphorus. In what chemical form is nitrogen typically used by cells for biosynthesis? Name two different types of cellular macromolecules that contain nitrogen. Briefly describe 4 different ways in which microorganisms may obtain nitrogen in a form that they can use.
Nitrogen reacts with bromine to form the molecular compound NBr3. Nitrogen and phosphorus are in the same group. In Chapter 4 we learned about reactivity and groups. What compound would you expect to form if phosphorus reacted with bromine? A) PBT B) PBr2 C) PBr3 D) PBr4
SYSTEM ENGINEERING Compare and contrast the waterfall, spiral, cycle, and Vee models of the systems engineering process. In particular, what (e.g., functions performed, time sequence of functions, outputs produced, interaction with stakeholders) is the same in each of these processes and what is different? Are there some categories of systems for which one process would be better than the others? Use outside references to gain more information on the Waterfall, Spiral, Cycle and Vee models.
2. Sketch the phosphorus cycle. Include all inputs and major forms of phosphorus, and label all reactions. Why is phosphorus typically the limiting nutrient in aquatic systems?
