All of the biogeochemical cycles are mainly involved proper maintenance of ecosystem with proper energy flow across primary producers and consumers at tertiary stage.
I'm not an expert, but as far as I know, they are different. Biogeochemical cycles refer to the actual chemicals, such as phosphates or nitrates which move through the biosphere, while the energy flow through the biosphere is based on how the consumption of other plants and animals allows for a flow of energy towards increasing complexity.
Matter is recycled, but energy is not.In an ecosystem, matter is represented by the presence of biogeochemical elements such as Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur. These elements are being recycled through their respective cycles - Biogeochemical cycles (please click this http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Biogeochemical+cycles&gwp=13).Energy, on the other hand, is not recyclable. It is something that an organism utilizes or consumes. The 1st law of thermodynamics explains why energy is not being recycled - as an energy passes through or is being consumed by an organism, the consumer of the said organism will only utilize less of a 100% of what the organism was able to get from the 100% energy.
A)These are your choices biogeochemical cycles. B)water cycles C)energy pyramids D)ecological piramids Ummm choose cuz yah idk im just givin you options =Þ B).Water Cycles ~Daffy~
A substance (matter) like carbon, nitrogen, etc. (as opposed to energy, which isn't recycled. Energy flows just one way and is not recycled, unlike material substances.
As with almost everything else, the main source of energy is the Sun.

The ultimate source of the energy driving it is that coming from the Sun.
the flow of matter and energy in the physical environment

plants are not the ultimate source of energy. It is the sun which is the ultimate source of energy to this planet
Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.

As energy and matter flow through an ecosystem, matter must be recycled and reused. Substances such as water, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus each pass between the living and nonliving worlds through biogeochemical cycles.
Biogeochemical cycle is the cycle in which matter and energy move through various steps on earth.
