Why does matter follow a circular pathway while energy flows in a linear fashion in the biosphere?

Matter follows a circular pathway as matter is never created nor destroyed, it just constantly changes form from one thing to the next to the next and back to the first in a circular fashion as its a continuous never ending cycle. Energy however also never created nor destroyed is degraded with every use, constantly decreasing downward in quality therefore following a linear fashion as energy follows high to low as a line does

What happens to energy in biosphere?
In the biosphere, energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What fuel are used in the anaerobic metabolic pathway?
The anaerobic glycolysis energy pathway produces ATP from carbohydrates only. This energy pathway produces lactic acid as a by product.
Efficiency of a respiration pathway refers to the?
amount of ATP energy produced relative to the energy content of the carbohydrate entering the pathway
The flow of energy in the biosphere is continually decreasing True or False?
True
Are energy flow through the biosphere and biogeochemical cycles the same thing?
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.
What happens to energy in biosphere?
In the biosphere, energy is converted into kinetic energy.
How does the energy enter the biosphere?
as sunlight..
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
What is the energy pathway for phosphorescent light?
There is no energy pathway for it
How can Compare the movement of energy in the biosphere with the movement of matter through biosphere?
matter is recyced in the biosphere
What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?
I think the aerobic pathway produces more energy because it has a longer process than the anaerobic pathway.
Only energy pathway that can burn carbs fat and protein?
Aerobic Energy Pathway
In the biosphere matter energy flows in a linear fashion explain?
Everything is composed of matter. Matter is recycled over and over again. The same molecules that make my body came from the chicken that laid the eggs for my morning breakfast. Matter is transformed and combined in different ways, but it does not disappear, everything goes somewhere. This is the principle of conservation of matter. Atoms and molecules that make up matter. Matter is recycled. Energy causes movement and flows in a one-way path. With each use of energy, less is available. Energy is not recyclable.
How does solar energy trapped in the biosphere influence global climate?
Solar energy trapped in a biosphere That is a quantity called internal energy. It mostly effects temperature.
How does energy travel through the biosphere?
energy travels through the biosphere in electromagnetic waves that come from the sun and lights. sincerely, Nell
What fuel are used in the anaerobic metabolic pathway?
The anaerobic glycolysis energy pathway produces ATP from carbohydrates only. This energy pathway produces lactic acid as a by product.
Which pathway has the greatest activation energy?
energy source
