as sunlight..
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.

False. In the biosphere, there is a continuous cycle of energy flow. Energy from the sun is captured by plants through photosynthesis, then transferred to herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers in a complex web of energy exchanges. This flow of energy is not one-way, but rather a continuous loop within ecosystems.
In this example, energy flows between the biosphere and the geosphere. The biosphere refers to the living components, such as plants, that utilize nutrients from the soil (geosphere) to produce energy through processes like photosynthesis.
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
respiration
Biosphere
The sun.
False. The flow of energy in the biosphere is constant and not continually decreasing. Energy enters the biosphere in the form of sunlight and is continuously cycled through ecosystems via processes like photosynthesis and respiration.
Respiration supplies energy for organisms on Earth. Respiration can either be photosynthesis in plants and fungi or cellular respiration in animals.
The primary source of energy for the biosphere is the sun. Solar energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, which is then passed on through the food chain to other living organisms. This process fuels life on Earth and drives the biological processes within the biosphere.
Energy in the biosphere is transferred through food chains and food webs. Producers, such as plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers as they eat other organisms.

The original source of energy in the biosphere is sunlight. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis, which is then used by living organisms as a source of energy.
Ecological
Plants. However, the main source of energy for the planet and mainly for the biosphere comes from the plankton in the oceans.
