BIO-GEO CHEMICAL CYCLE OR NUTRIENT CYCLE Bio - Living organism Geo - Rock, Soil, Air, Water Chemical - Material or Nutrients Cycle - Path All the types of material required by ecosystem in addition of energy, are available continuously to system through recycling. Thus there is a constant exchange of materials between the living organism and their abiotic environment through the recyling of materials. This phenomenon is called Bio-geo chemical cycle. Note: Environment factors,e.g soil , moisture, ph, temperature etc, regulate the release of nutrients into the atmosphere. Biochemical cycle The following types of cycle are found in an ecosystem. (i) Gaseous Cycle - C, H, N. O cycles. Reservoir is in the atmosphere (air) or in Hydrosphere(water). Sedimentary cycle - P. S, Ca cycles reservoirs are in earth's crust (lithosphere). Note : ...
WBC WBC (White Blood Corpuscles) are also called as leucocytes because they are colourless. TLC- Total leucocyte count Number of WBC /mm 6000 - 8000/mm (2000-3000) DLC :- Differential leucocyte count: number/ (%) of different type of leucocyte in per cubic mm. of blood. Acidophils - 2-3% of TLC Basophils - 0.5% -1% TLC Neutrophils - 60 -65% TLC Monocytes - 6-8% TLC Lymphocytes - 20-25% TLC Leucocytosis :- Increase in TLC. This condition occur in bacterial & viral infection. Leucocytopenia :- Decrease in TLC. Normally TLC increases in bacterial & viral infection but in typhoid & AIDS, TLC decreases. Leukemia :- Abnormal increase in TLC (more than 1 Lakh) it is called as blood cancer. On the basis of nucleus & nature of cytoplasm, Leucocyte are of two type 1. Granulocytes a) In their cytoplasm granules are present which can be...
