Nitrogen cycle

Carbon cycle

1. When the process of conversion of nitrogen between its various forms of chemical carries out through physical and biological processes then it is known as Nitrogen cycle. A cycle where carbon travels from atmosphere into organisms and again back into atmosphere, this is known as Carbon cycle.
2. Nitrogen gas is present in the initiation. Carbon dioxide gas is present in the initiation.
3. In the nitrogen cycle, involved elements are amphibians, mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. In the carbon cycle, involved elements are lancelets, vertebrates and tunicates.
4. In the nitrogen cycle, conversion of the nitrogen takes place. In the carbon cycle, conversion of the carbon dioxide takes place.
5. In the process of nitrogen cycle, microorganisms are involved. In the process of carbon cycle, both plants and animals are involved.
6. Involved stages in the nitrogen cycle are nitrate assimilation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, ammonification etc. Involved stages in the carbon cycle are respiration, decomposition, photosynthesis and decomposition.
