One of the major issues in reducing the production of greenhouse gases is the ability to produce and use alternative fuels such as hydrogen, methane or ethanol. Compare and contrast these options with special regard for how they may be biologically produced.
Chapter 10 of your textbook describes four biogeochemical cycles (some of which might also be called nutrient cycles) which carry elements and compounds essential to life on earth: the oxygen cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle. Read the sections in the textbook and refer to the diagrams for each of the cycles.These cycles are constantly going on around us. Think about how we are involved in these cycles. What parts of the major biogeochemical cycles do we witness or experience in our daily lives? Give one example per post or response. Think about where the element or nutrient may have come from or where it may go next and whether the process may have been affected by humans and human activities.A simple example (using the hydrologic cycle, which we studied in Chapter 7): Yesterday I was at the beach and witnessed rain falling into the ocean. This is part of the hydrologic cycle. Most of the rainwater probably came from evaporation of water from the…

Nitrogen fixationarrow_forwardA characteristic of the open-loop system is that it does not use feedback to determine if its output has achieved the desired goal of the input. This means that the system does not observe the output of the processes that it is controlling. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness. Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired output. 3) The image shown above is the Carbon cycle. What kind of system is the Carbon cycle? A) open-loop system B) closed-loop system C) unregulated system D) unchecked feedback system not gradedarrow_forwardIn the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, carbon is cycled between all major spheres on Earth. Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as one reactant to conduct photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced by organisms as a result of carrying out cellular respiration.
