Text Solution

Verified by Experts

BIO -GEO CHEMICAL CYCLES / NUTRIENT CYCLINE (INORGANIC - ORGANIC CYCLES) : They are the cyclic movements of essentail chemical elements between the enviroment and living organisms , establishing relationship among the living organisms soil, and chemical elements . It can also be defined as the specific circulations of inorganic matter /gases between the living and the non - living world .
CARBON CYCLE : It is thre cycling of carbon dioxide between the envirmonet and living organisms . It is a type of gases cycle and it occurs as carbon dioxide in air and also dissonved in water. It is referred as the gaseous perfect cycle .
Green plants (producers ) fix the carbon of the atmoshpheric carbon dioxide by photosynthesis and incorporate it in their food molecules as carbohydrates .Asimah (Consumer) obtain the same from the plants bt feeding on them directly ( Herbivorous) or indirectly (Carnivores ) and incorporated in their organic as carbon skeleton. It is the same way that the dissolved carbon dioxide of water is used by aquatic plants and passed on to aquatic food chains. The carbon of organisms eventually returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide by the following events
1 During respiration plants and animals.
2 During bacterial decomposition of dead bodies of plants and animals .
3 Combustion of fossilized plant products such as coal iol deposits and forest fires .
4 volcanic explosions ,
