What type of components of the biosphere do chemical elements and water pass through during ecosystem recycle?
water and air
photic and aphotic
tropic and subtropic
biotic and abiotic
The chemical elements and water that are needed by organisms continuously recycle in ecosystems. They pass through biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere. That’s why their cycles are called biogeochemical cycles . For example, a chemical might move from organisms ( bio ) to the atmosphere or ocean ( geo ) and back to organisms again. Elements or water may be held for various periods of time in different parts of a cycle.
