Role In The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen From The Atmosphere Tree
374 wordsThe nitrogen cycle is a complex biological cycle involving the recycling of usable nitrogen. If this cycle ceased to occur, all forms of life on the planet would die. All life forms, including humans, use nitrogen in compounds called amino acids. These amino acids then act as building blocks for proteins. Nitrogen, in fact, is the most abundant element in the atmosphere. Most organisms are unable to use this nitrogen from the atmosphere and rely on the nitrogen in the soil. The cycle consists of...

Man Has Evolved Homo Erectus
2,407 wordsCreations Unheard Argument Since the 1960 s, evolution has been taught in schools and believed by a majority of people. One group has refused to believe in evolution, and it makes a strong opposition to Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory. This anti-evolutionary crowd which refuses to believe that man has evolved from apes, is called the creationist group. Creationists believe that man was created by God and not by chance. Popular science seems to side with evolution, and yet great scientists s...

Without them, the rate of the reactions would be so slow as to cause serious, if not fatal, damage. Without enzymes toxins would soon build up and the supply of respiratory substrate would decrease. ? Enzymes are proteins and thus have a specific shape. They are therefore specific in the reactions that they catalyst? one enzyme will react with molecules...
