Oxygen Cycle - Oxygen is another essential element for living organisms. It is present in large quantities (20.95% v/v) in the atmosphere and is also seen in bound state in water and as oxides and carbonates in rocks. Dissolved oxygen in water is the source o..

It takes place in the mitochondria. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is oxidized and forms carbon dioxide and water. This reaction also releases molecules called the coenzymes - NADH 2 and FADH 2 . The hydrogen atoms associated with these are the hydrogen atoms releas..

Nitrogen Cycle - Nitrogen is an essential constituent of animal and plant matter as it forms proteins, which are the building blocks of life. The ultimate source of nitrogen is atmospheric nitrogen but neither plants nor animals are capable of assimilating free nitroge..

Main source of oxygen are the plants which evolve oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. It is used chiefly by most of the living organisms in their aerobic respiration except certain anaerobics. Oxygen acts as a limiting factor in the distribution of animalsh..

Carbon is found as graphite and diamond in nature. It also occurs as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Because of the position of its electrons, an atom of carbon can form covalent bonds with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and other carbon atoms. Because of this versatility, the c..

The oxidation of pyruvic acid into CO 2 and water is called Krebs cycle. This cycle is also citric acid cycle because the cycle begins with the formation of citric acid. Citric acid is a carboxylic acid containing 3 COOH groups. Hence this cycl..

Biogeochemical Cycles - Earth is the source of matter for all living organisms, as they require several (about 40) elements for their growth and life processes. Some elements and their compounds have an important role in the living protoplasm and are required in large amounts. These nutri..

Earth is the source of matter for all living organisms, as they require several (about 40) elements for their growth and life processes. Some elements and their compounds have an important role in the living protoplasm and are required in large amounts. These nutrients are called 'macro nutrients' ..
