a. the flow of energy is unidirectional where as the biogeochemical transfer is cyclic - explain why
b. Justify the statement - the nitrogen cycle is supposed be an ideal cycle in the biosphere
But in bio geochemical cycles after the death of that particular organism, excreta minerals thus, released are reutilised by the plants and being recirculated in the system. Thus the nutrients rotates in a cyclical manner in bio geochemical cycles.
b.The nitrogen cycle is said to be an ideal cycle in the biosphere because there is no loss of nitrogen and the amount of nitrogen remains constant which follows the law of conservation of matter. In other biogeochemical cycles, there ¡s loss of energy or loss of matter.
