Question
what is the effect of the biogeochemical cycles?
cycling energy through a food chain
recycling matter through the biosphere
recycling rocks through the layers of earth
cycling nutrients through the human body
Biogeochemical cycles (like water, carbon, nitrogen cycles) involve the movement and recycling of matter (elements/compounds) through the biosphere (all living and non - living components of Earth). Energy flow in food chains is different from biogeochemical cycles (energy is not recycled, it flows in one direction). Recycling rocks is related to geologic cycles, not biogeochemical. Cycling nutrients through human body is a physiological process, not biogeochemical cycles which operate at a larger, biosphere - level scale. So the correct option is the one about recycling matter through the biosphere.
