Among the following biogeochemical cycles, which one does not have loss due to the respiration?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur cycles, there is a loss due to respiration because these elements are released back into the atmosphere as gases (CO 2 , N 2 O, SO 2 ).In the phosphorus cycle, there is no significant gaseous phase and hence no loss through respiration. Phosphorus mainly cycles through rocks, soil, water, and living organisms.
