Hi, welcome to Brainmass!
The statement is partly correct. Legumes improve the soil condition by adding ammonia through nitrogen fixation. ...
Solution Summary
Legumes are discussed in connection with the topic.
Explain the difference between Nitrogen Equilibrium and positive and negative Nitrogen balance.
Would you please give me an example of when these conditions occur?
I am having difficulty finding any info. on this subject
Deforestation is cited as one example of a disturbance in the carbon cycle. Give and describe other examples of a disturbance in other chemical cycles.
When running a nitrogen crop response model with 100kgN/ha fertilizer input I found that the amount of nitrogen in the top 90cm of the soil decreased compared to when zero nitrogen was added (66kgN/ha vs 93kgN/ha). No other variables in the model were changed (ie organic matter content, rainfall etc). the other results given by
Assume that nitrogen cycling in a deciduous forest ecosystem is complete and involves all the producers, consumers and nitrogen fixing, denitrifying and ammonifying bacteria described in lecture
a. Trace an atom of N (N15) that was released into the atmosphere of the forest through
its route to a bacterial cell that releases
One mole of nitrogen and three moles of hydrogen are injected into a container of volume 10 dm^3 at 298 K. What are the partial pressures and the total pressure? (Note: "^" means "to the exponent".)
A 10.0 L tank contains nitrogen gas and chlorine gas at partial pressure of 1.00 atm each, at a temperature of 300K. The mixture is allowed to react, producing nitrogen trichloride. Calculate the partial pressures of the products and reactants.
A) Define "transamination" and "oxidative deamination"
b) What is the role of the urea cycle, and what are the effects on an individual of a deficiency in one of the required enzymes?
