Biogeochemical Cycle Review

The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because

• energy flows in one direction, and nutrients recycle.
• energy is limited in the biosphere, and nutrients are always available.
• nutrients flow in one direction, and energy recycles.
• energy forms chemical compounds, and nutrients are lost as heat.
