Nutrient Cycle
The chemical nutrients that are essential for the synthesis of living matter are taken from the physical environment. After the death and decomposition of living organisms, they are returned to the environment to be used over and again. This cyclic back …

Step 1: Biogeochemical cycles

Note:- Sorry, since you have posted multiple questions, as per the honor code, we will solve the first one for you. Please repost the rest parts separately. Thank you!

Inorganic and organic substances together make up the biosphere. The movement of these organic and inorganic substances between the biological and non-biological components of the biosphere in a cyclic manner is known as the biochemical cycle.

Some examples of the biochemical cycle include the water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorous cycle.
