• analyse the flow of matter through a natural ecosystem using the water, carbon/oxygen and nitrogen cycles.

I dont understand what this means........

EDIt: oh and btw, is this the correct formula for respiration?

38ADP + 38P + C6H12O6 + 6O2 >>>>>> 6H2O + 6CO2 + 38ATP

It means you study closely the processes and changes involved in the cycles. For example, in the water cycle it means that you observe how water flows from streams and rivers, after rain, back into the ocean to be evaporated again. That is the 'flow of matter' which in this case is water.

oh and btw, is this the correct formula for respiration?

38ADP + 38P + C6H12O6 + 6O2 >>>>>> 6H2O + 6CO2 + 38ATP

I think it is correct, but I wasn't taught to put the Adenosine Diphosphate and Adenosine Triphosphate in the equation.
