Compare the nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen cycles

The main difference is the way how the three of those cycles are performed. For example, as nitrogen is abundant then it cannot be used by plants or animals in its gas form. The Carbon cycle does not need an especial process like the one of the Nitrogen. Plants can take carbon dioxide and is used for the photosyntesis process. All three cycles are found in soil. Oxygen cycles recycles the oxigen.

These 3 cycles have a part of their cycle where they exist in gaseous form. The three cycles are also critical to the living organisms on earth.

The differences are that nitrogen cannot be used in its gaseous form by living organism and has to be fixed in the soil to nitrites through the process of nitrification.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Proteins and lipids exist as separate but loosely attached molecules that can move around

Explanation:

Cell membranes are mainly composed of lipids, proteins, and also carbohydrates. Phospholipids are the most abundant type of lipid and the main constituent of the cell membranes. Membrane proteins are divided into two types according to their interactions with the cell membrane: 1-integral (intrinsic) and peripheral (extrinsic) proteins. These peripheral proteins are loosely attached by ionic bonds or calcium bridges with the phosphate heads of the phospholipids; whereas integral membrane proteins contain side chains that interact with fatty acyl groups of the phospholipids. Cell membrane fluidity indicates how easily lipids (e.g., phospholipids and cholesterol) and proteins (e.g., intrinsic proteins) diffuse laterally in the cell membrane. This fluidity is affected by the amount of cholesterol, temperature, and the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, whereas unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond (these double bonds increase fluidity). Moreover, higher temperatures increase membrane fluidity, whereas cholesterol molecules function to regulate membrane fluidity: at high temperatures cholesterol molecules stabilize the membrane, whereas at low temperatures intercalate between phospholipids, thereby preventing them from clustering together.
