In a biochemical cycle, chemical elements have time in different places which are called reservoirs.
A chemical element moves through a biogeochemical cycle which moves between "bio" and "geo". The "bio" in biogeochemical refers to biotic reservoirs or living organisms.
The "geo" in biogeochemical refers to Earth where a chemical element can find.
terrestrial carbon cycle, the abiotic reservoir from which living organisms directly obtain their carbon is the atmosphere.
In carbon moves from an abiotic reservoir to living organisms during a process called photosynthesis.
Carbon moves from living organisms to an abiotic reservoir in a process called cellular respiration

1. In a biogeochemical cycle, a chemical element spends time in different places, called: reservoirs

2. As a chemical element moves through a biogeochemical cycle, it moves between "bio" and "geo." the "bio" in biogeochemical refers to biotic reservoirs, or living organisms

3. The "geo" in biogeochemical refers to EARTH specifically, to the abiotic reservoirs where a chemical element can be found.

4. In the terrestrial carbon cycle, the abiotic reservoir from which living organisms directly obtain their carbon is atmosphere
