Question

What is the purpose of the biogeochemical cycles?

Answer 1

The biogeochemical cycles refer to the pathway through which chemical substances move through the abiotic and biotic sections of the earth. The chemical substances that are usually moved through these cycles include: carbon, water, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, etc.

The purpose of biogeochemical cycles is to transfer the necessary nutrients from the environment into the living organism and then back into the environment again, thus, the cycle functions by recycling the chemical substances that are part of living organism.

Answer 2

The biogeochemical cycles move through mainly the biotic and abiotic components of the earth, more elaborately the spheres -biospheres, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere regions of the ecosystem. These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle. The purpose in these cycles are to maintain balance and to ensure the ongoing process of the living and non-living organisms in the environment. These cycles’ help to living organisms survive and thrive. One popular example is the water cycle.
