• Nitrogen Cycling

  Five main processes cycle nitrogen through the biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere: nitrogen fixation, nitrogen uptake (organism growth), nitrogen mineralization (decay), nitrification, and denitrification.

• Biogeochemical Imbalances

  The phosphorus cycle too is linked to the use of fertilizer. Phosphorus, as phospahte, is vital to all living things.

• Biogeochemical cycles

  This form of nitrogen is useful to plants, and animals get their nitrogen from eating plants. Humans have interfered in this cycle by producing chemical fertilizers.

• Industrial & Environmental Revolution & Biogeochemical cycle

  Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen cycle is another important nutrient cycle. Living organisms require nitrogen to produce complex organic molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

• Nitrogen excretion rate and oxygen consumption

  of alanine to ethanol, CO2 and NH3, and oxidation of glutamate via a slowly spinning Krebs-cycle.

• Citric acid cycle and urea cycle

  What are the 2 nonstandard amino acids in the urea cycle? The two amino acids involved as a donor pair in transamination reactions for nitrogen metabolism are glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate.

• Definitions and Urea Cycle

  The cycle occurs almost exclusively in the liver. The importance of the urea cycle lies in the fact that Urea is the excretory form of excess nitrogen among humans (hence, we are referred to as ureotelic organisms).

• Ecology, Ecosystems

  Nitrogen cycle began when you breathe in nitrogen everyday. About the majority of the molecule in the air is nitrogen. All living things need nitrogen.
