Question
I’m not sure how to answer this difficult question can you please help the answer?
Ecosystem ecology is often concerned with both energetics and materials as key
aspects of ecological dynamics. These differ in that:
O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy may be used by
any organism in the food web, while nitrogen is only used by plants.
O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy can only be used
once after which it is lost as work and heat. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil is
used for making plant or consumer tissue only once.
O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, the energy can only be used
once after which it is lost as work and heat. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil can
be used in plant tissue, used by consumers, returned to the soil, and reacquired by the
plant multiple times.
O From sunlight that is fixed by a plant through photosynthesis, energy can be used multiple
times throughout a food web. The nitrogen a plant acquires from the soil can be used in
plant tissue, used by consumers, returned to the soil, and reacquired by the plant multiple
times.

Step 1

The relationship between biotic community and abiotic environment is ecosystem and the study of ecosystem is called ecology. Ecology involves the cycling of minerals as well as materials in all the three spheres of Earth- atmosphere, lithosphere and Hydrosphere.
