Based on my results I feel like they are accurate. I like to catch a lot of my own food which is why you can see a lot of seafood In my diet. The amount of processed food I eat is a little higher but I feel like its normal because of how reliant our state is on the import/export business.
Nitrogen Cycles
Definition: the series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.
Steps to the Cycle
Nitrogen is essential for the formation of amino acids in proteins. The nitrogen cycle is a model that explains how nitrogen is recycled. About 78% of the air is nitrogen. Nitrogen is so unreactive, it can't be used directly by plants to make protein. Nitrates contain nitrogen and Nitrates are soluble in water, so plants are able to absorb them from the soil through their roots. This is how nitrogen compounds can get into plants.Once in plants, the nitrates are used to make proteins for growth. When animals feed, nitrogen compounds such as proteins are passed along the food chain or food web. When animals and plants die, their nitrogen compounds are broken down by soil bacteria, fungi and other decomposers. In this way, nitrogen compounds are returned to the soil, where they may be absorbed by plants again.
Oxygen Cycle
Definition: Then oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of oxygen within its four main reservoirs: the atmosphere, the total content of biological matter within the biosphere, the hydrosphere.
Steps to the Cycle
It starts of with plants and photosynthesis. During the day, the plants take energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water from the soil to make their food. Their food is simple just glucose. This process is called photosynthesis. Oxygen is released into the air as a byproduct of photosynthesis. During the night, plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide, to maintain their metabolism. Which is why it is not a good idea to sleep under trees at night.The oxygen that is released by plants is used by humans, animals, and other organisms for respiration.
Carbon Cycles
Definition: The series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, chiefly involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
Steps of the Cycle
First the carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion. Then the carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis. The animals then feeds on the plant passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. Most of the carbon then is consumed and exhaled as carbon dioxide formed during respiration. The animals and plants eventually die.
