Recycling in the Biosphere– Elements pass from one organism to another
and among parts of the biosphere through
closed loops called biogeochemical cycles,
which are powered by the flow of energy.
– As matter moves through these cycles, it is
never created or destroyed—just changed.
Biogeochemical Cycles will be classified using:
1. Biological Processes
2. Geological Processes
3. Chemical and Physical Processes
4. Human Activity

Biological Processes
- Eating
- Photosynthesis
- Breathing
- Burning food
- Transpiration
- Eliminating Waste
Any and all activities performed by living organisms including:
• Non-native African Honey Bee and Native Bees eat the same food resources.

SYMBIOSIS!Symbiosis – any relationship in which two species live closely together.
The three types of symbiotic relationships are. . .
– Mutualism– Commensalism– Parasitism
Parasitism
• Parasitism – a symbiotic relationship in which one organism lives on or inside
another organism and harms it. (+,-)
Example: Snail and Parasitic Worms
Parasitic worms: Take over the snails brain and force the snail to go to an exposed location so that it can be eaten by a bird (-). The parasitic worms then develop in the stomach of the bird (+).
relationship in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. (+, 0)
Example: Capybara and Flycatcher:
Capybara stir up insects that are living in the grasses and provide food for the flycatcher (+), the capybara aren’t helped or harmed in the process (0)
