Question

Which one of the following is not a gaseous biogeochemical cycle in the ecosystem?
A. Sulphur cycle
B. Phosphorus cycle
C. Nitrogen cycle
D. Carbon cycle

Answer 1

Hint: The biochemical cycle is also referred to as the nutrient cycle or the biogeochemical cycle. The biochemical gaseous phase involves different processes, such as the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the oxygen cycle.

Complete answer: For the transfer or distribution of biogenetic nutrients between living and nonliving components of the biosphere, the term biogeochemical cycle is used.
-Gases or vapors are the products involved in the circulation of biotic and abiotic elements of the biosphere in the gaseous processes of substances and the reservoir pool is the atmosphere or hydrosphere, e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
-The Phosphorus cycle: Phosphorus is a key component of biological membranes, nucleic acids, and processes for the transfer of cellular energy. To make shells, bones, and teeth, many animals always need massive volumes of this ingredient. Wherein the natural phosphorus reservoir is the rock which, in the form of phosphates, contains phosphorus. In soil solution, minute quantities of these phosphates dissolve as rocks are weathered and are consumed by the plant roots. The materials involved in circulation between biotic and abiotic elements of the biosphere are non-gaseous in sedimentary cycles of matter, and the reservoir pool is the lithosphere, e.g. phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, etc.
-Sulphur has sedimentary as well as gaseous phases. As compared to sedimentary cycles, gaseous cycles are rapid and more perfect.
-In the gaseous form, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen are present in the atmosphere. The sedimentary cycles are the calcium cycle, the sodium cycle, the phosphorus cycle, the iron cycle, the magnesium cycle, and the Sulphur cycle.
Thus, choice B is the correct answer.

Note: The biogeochemical cycle guarantees that various key elements are properly cycled and the cycle continues to move from the abiotic components to the biotic components and back to the abiotic component. Sedimentary cycles have a reservoir that is the surface of the earth and each element is returned to the crust of the earth or the soil at the end of the cycle.
