The Cycles of Matter — Quiz

Question 2 • Biology

What is the effect of the biogeochemical cycles?

Answer
A
cycling energy through a food chain
B
recycling rocks through the layers of Earth
C
recycling matter through the biosphere
D
cycling nutrients through the human body

Explanation

Biogeochemical cycles move and recycle chemical matter—such as water, carbon, and nitrogen—between living organisms and parts of Earth like the atmosphere, soil, and water. This recycling of matter through the biosphere is the effect described by choice C. Energy, by contrast, flows through food chains rather than being recycled in cycles.
