be produced. The amount needed is more than what can be produced naturally so fertilizers are pumped into the soil to produce enough crops. National Geographic says almost half of the nitrogen found in our bodies’ muscle and organ tissue started out in a fertilizer factory. Also that the effects of too much nitrogen are present all around the world. Some major changes are in China. Dan Charles talked to a long time resident of China who claimed that when he was a boy he could see clearly through…

measure out compounds accurately, mix the compounds in DI water until they are dissolved, test pH levels, effectively add acids or bases depending on pH level, and administrate EDTA when a precipitate has formed. When only components that include 0.06g Nitrogen, 0.0497g Phosphorous, and 0.0399g Potassium are combined, on the first day of the experiment, a very basic solution with a pH level of 13.0 formed. The addition of 18 droplets of hydrochloric acid lowered the pH level to 6.0. When…

(ammonia). The Carbon dioxide fed the plants. These plants then produced oxygen which is a process which continues today. The same applies to NH3 (ammonia) which fungi’s take in then producing one of the main gases which makes up our atmosphere today N (Nitrogen). The atmosphere today made up of the main gasses N2 (78%) O2 (21%) Co2 (0.04%) and the rest the less important gasses such as Argon which make up 1% of the rest of the atmosphere. There are many different ways in which humans effect…

The 2016 BEST Robotics competition, Bet the Farm, is all about implementing new ways to produce crops. Thanks to modern technology, there is more than one way to grow vegetables. After receiving the challenge from BEST Robotics that included the lettuce and tomato hydroponic stand, one question plagued many of the team members ' minds. What is hydroponics? It is the technique of growing vegetation without soil. This process is rich in history and science, and is important to the Kansas…

are the four molecules all living things need to survive. The four molecules are Proteins, DNA, Carbohydrates, and Lipids. Each of these molecules is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen at the very least. Proteins have Nitrogen as an added element, and DNA has Phosphate and Nitrogen. The base structure of each molecule has a carbon skeleton. This means that structures have Carbon as the base, in diagrams the carbon skeleton will have many bonds but you can recognize it because it will be in the…

Generally nitrogen levels are low in unpolluted water but can be found in small amounts. Determining the presence of nitrate can be difficult due to the small amounts of nitrate in water. Nitrate can be found in rivers lakes and ground water. Nitrate nitrogen is the pre dominant form of nitrogen. A high level of nitrate present in water indicates that there was organic pollution but not recently. Plants and animals need nutrients like nitrogen for the formation of amino acids. Nitrogen cannot…

resulting in ammonia. Nitrification is a process by which ammonia is oxidized to nitrite and then nitrite is oxidized to nitrate. Denitrification is a process by which nitrate is converted into nitrogen gas or nitrous oxide by denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixation is a process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia by symbiotic or non-symbiotic mechanisms. 2. The distinguishing difference between the three types of soil used (cactus soil, peat moss, and all-purpose potting soil)…

It can be nitrogen conversion through all the biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle installation, generating ammonia, nitrification, and DE nitrification. The vast majority of the Earth 's atmosphere (78%) are nitrogen, making it the largest concentration of nitrogen. However, the nitrogen in the atmosphere has limited the use of biological, resulting in a scarcity of nitrogen that can be used in many types of…

The earth is reliant on various reproductive biochemical cycles, to maintain balanced and regulated conditions on earth and within the atmosphere (Name, date). These cycles include the carbon, nitrogen and hydrological cycles. These cycles among others, bring with them various geological, chemical, physical and biological processes (name, date). All these cycles are interconnected; matter within them is continually cycled between biotic and abiotic parts of the environment (name, date). Without…

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of changing soil textures and nutrient availabilities upon biomass allocation within Brassica rapus. From the data collected, we can conclude that soil texture and it’s influence upon nutrient availability is significant in determining biomass allocation within B. rapus. In our study, we found that soil texture primarily determined root biomass while the degree of nutrient availability, provided by fertilization, primarily determined…
