State how matter moves through the biosphere. state how energy moves through the biosphere. explain each statement using examples to illustrate your explanation

Matter moves through the biosphere in a cyclic pattern

Energy moves through the biosphere in  one way track.

Explanation:

The flow of energy with in a biosphere is a one way process but  flow of matter with in a biosphere is a cycle in which what goes in comes outside.

For instance, energy is produced in organism containing chlorophyll (as they are able to make food), this food is consumed by successive consumer with each consumer getting only 10 % of the energy contained within the predecessor organism. While the remaining energy is released back in to the environment after the action of decomposers  

Flow of matter can be better understood with the case of bio geo chemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen etc. in which the nutrients taken in are released back and consumed further for reprocessing etc.

Matter flows within biosphere through the process of recycling by biochemical cycles and organisms.

Organisms transform matter but do not deplete it. Examples of matter flow within the biosphere are nutrient cycle and water cycle.

Nutrient cycle includes other compounds and elements which are necessary for life and exchanged by various organisms. Examples are phosphorus cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen.

Solar energy arrives and it is converted into chemical by plants which are being eaten by animals. They are converted again and animal is either dies or it is eaten by another animal or it is broken down by decomposers.

Energy then is converted back to basic elements for plants which feeds off with the assistance of solar energy therefore the cycle starts again.
