Ecological Cycles. Nitrogen, Carbon-Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur. The Nitrogen cycle The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen is used by living organisms to produce a number of complex organic molecules like amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. 78% of the worldâs atmosphere is nitrogen Despite its abundance in the atmosphere, nitrogen is often the most limiting nutrient for plant growth.
Living organisms are mainly composed of polymerized amino acids (proteins) nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), and other biopolymers. The most powerful computers-our brains-are mostly just a complex polymer material soaking in salty water. We are just making first smallsteps towards understanding of biological systems. Silk fiber is produced by silk worms in a cocoon, to protect the silkworm while it metamorphoses in a moth.
