Check all of the items that are cycled through the biosphere in biogeochemical cycles. water matter nitrogen phosphorus carbon

Biogeochemical cycle are the circular loops present in nature that help in the recycling of the living matter.

The items that are cycled through the biosphere in biogeochemical cycles are:

1. Water

2. Nitrogen

3. Phosphorus

4. Carbon

The water in ground is absorbed by plants, and gets lost to the atmosphere in the form of vapor. This vapor again rains down to irrigate the land.

The nitrogen is present in the form of nitrates in the soil. The atmospheric nitrogen also gets fixed by the bacteria present in the soil. The plant uses the nitrogen for growth and development. The decomposition of the dead and decaying plant matter releases nitrogen back to the soil and atmosphere.

Phosphorus is present in the soil, it gets absorbed by the plants. The decomposition of plants releases it back to the soil.

All the living matter is made up of carbon. The plants absorb the carbon from the atmosphere. The decomposition of the plants produce various hydrocarbons that are released back into the atmosphere.

Rationale:

The organic matter or the biotic matter gets recycled, whereas matter like the soil, rocks, etc. do not.

1. Water

2. Nitrogen

3. Phosphorus

4. Carbon

5. Matter
