Question

Which of the following are often involved in a biogeochemical cycle?

molecules, living things, and the environment
living things
molecules
the environment

Answer 1

In a biogeochemical cycle, molecules, living things and the environment, all the three are often involved.

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common biogeochemical cycles are Carbon-Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Oxygen Cycle, and Water or Hydrologic Cycle.

Producers, the plants of an ecosystem consume various fundamental nutrients (inorganic substances) from their surrounding or non-living environment.

The biomass of the producers are formed by these inorganic materials. Then they are used by the population of consumers and it is given back to the surrounding environment ultimately by the reducers such as decomposers.

This process is called as biogeochemical cycle, the continuous or cyclic exchange of nutrients between the living being and their non-living surrounding environment.

Answer 2

a biogeochemical cycle is the process by which molecules move through the biotic and abiotic cycle composed of the hydrosphere,lithosphere,
all the above are thus involved in the biochemical process from this definition as molecules are made of atoms
