Energy in the biosphere flows through a one-way system, entering as sunlight and being converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume each other. In contrast, matter in the biosphere cycles through biogeochemical processes, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles, where elements are taken up by organisms, recycled, and reused in the ecosystem.
Dead and decomposed trees are part of the biosphere component of the Earth system. As organic matter, they play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and provide habitat for various organisms.

D. Minerals are inorganic.
Plants, animals, and microorganisms are examples of organic matter within the biosphere. These organisms contain carbon-based molecules and play a crucial role in cycling nutrients and energy within ecosystems.
The majority of nitrogen in the biosphere is stored in the atmosphere, where it makes up about 78% of the air we breathe. Additionally, nitrogen is also found in soil in various forms, such as organic matter, inorganic compounds, and living organisms.
Matter can be classified as either organic or inorganic. Organic matter contains carbon-hydrogen bonds and is typically derived from living organisms. Inorganic matter, on the other hand, lacks carbon-hydrogen bonds and includes minerals and elements that don't contain carbon.
The percentage of inorganic matter in potatoes hovers around 13 to 37%.
the lithosphere is what the biosphere lives on and if there was no lithosphere the biosphere would die. the biosphere is what the lithosphere needs to survive. the bodies of dead matter decomposes to make the lithosphere able to make more biomatter for the biosphere.
How are the four component systems of the earth system connected? The four components of the earth system, the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, are connected through energy flows and matter cycling, driven by energy from the sun. Internal heat energy does contribute to the formation of some landforms, including volcanoes, but its effect is minimal compared to that of the sun.
the cryosphere is home to biomatter like polar bears and penguins. it is a stable matter for homes for the biosphere.
yes, they do have matter as they occupy space and have volume
The main components of sewage are water, organic matter (such as human waste and food scraps), inorganic matter (such as soap and detergent residue), nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus), and pathogens (microorganisms that can cause disease).
