Chapter 54.3, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The processes that move large quantities of carbon from organic compartment to inorganic compartment.
Introduction:
Nutrient cycles or biogeochemical cycles can be defined as a pathway taken by the nutrients as they move from their major sources in the abiotic parts of the ecosystem. These sources are called reservoirs of the nutrient. This movement is completed through living communities and then back to the reservoir. The carbon cycle is one of such important nutrient cycles. Carbon forms the backbone of living organisms and many biological molecules; thus, it plays an important role in the ecosystem.

Can you tell…arrow_forwardYou have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.arrow_forwardUse the following tree diagram to answer Questions #8-10. 8) Which of the following two animals are the most closely related based on the tree to the left? a) Pig and camel b) Hippo and pig c) Deer and cow 9) CIRCLE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a hippo and a cow is. 10) Put a SQUARE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a pig and a peccary is.arrow_forward
