3 0

Explanation:

Flagellum, plural flagella, hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms. Flagella, characteristic of the protozoan group Mastigophora, also occur on the gametes of algae, fungi, mosses, slime molds, and animals.

Flagellum Definition

A flagellum is a microscopic hair-like organelle used by cells and microorganisms for movement. The word flagellum in Latin means whip, just like the whipping motion flagella (plural) often use for locomotion. Specialized flagella in some organisms are also used as sensory organelles that can detect changes in temperature and pH.

The answer is a) in biogeochemical cycles, nutrients are not synthesized anew but are recycled in the <span>biosphere.

Biogeochemical cycles are pathways by which chemical substances move through biosphere and geosphere (lithosphere), as well as atmosphere and hydrosphere. In these cycles nutrients are recycled, they are not lost. Let's take for example a carbon cycle:
</span>

<span>:- Carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration.</span>

<span>- Producers (plants) absorb carbon dioxide and make carbohydrates in photosynthesis.</span>

<span>- Consumers (animals) eat producers and intake carbohydrates.</span>

<span>- After the death of both producers and consumers, decomposers (such as Actinobacteria, or other bacteria or fungi) eat that dead organisms and carbon are released into the environment.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So, carbon is not synthesized anew, but it is recycled.</span>
