Review and Quiz: the Carbon and the Nitrogen cycles
2
The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms
3
Photosynthesis, Decomposition, Respiration and Combustion. Carbon cycles from the atmosphere into plants and living things
4
The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical.
5
Nitrogen cycle consists of four main steps namely: Nitrogen Fixation. Ammonification/ Decay. Nitrification.
6
