Answer:

A. They cycle elements through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Chemical elements such as nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus etc. moves between the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem in the biosphere. The cycle of these elements between these counterparts (abiotic and biotic) is referred to as the BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE.

Firstly, the biotic components of an ecosystem refers to the living organisms such as plants, animals, microbes etc while the abiotic components are the non-living parts such as soil, water etc. Therefore, according to the description given in the options, option A describes what a BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE best.

How does the arrangement of elements in periods relate to electron configuration
VashaNatasha [74]
Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2

Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell

(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)

Galina-37 [17]
The correct answer to this question is Water will move from left to right.

Water tends to move over to the side where there is less water. For example, if there's less water on the RIGHT side, then the water will tend to move from left, to RIGHT. It <span>shows more solute molecules on the right, so water will move to this side by osmosis. I think it is to do with entropy and the tendency for systems to move to equilibrium if there is an increase in entropy</span>
