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 and compounds) between living organisms and the non - living components of the biosphere (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere). Energy flow in ecosystems is one - way (not cycled), so the option about cycling energy through a food chain is wrong. Biogeochemical cycles don't deal with recycling rocks through Earth's layers or cycling nutrients just in the human body.
