What Process Recycles Molecules from Inorganic Areas to Living Parts

Question

What process recycles molecules from inorganic areas to living parts of an ecosystem?
A) commensalism
B) introducing new species
C) nutrient cycling
D) competitive exclusion

Accepted Answer

Nutrient cycling is the process of recycling molecules from inorganic areas to living parts of an ecosystem. This includes the cycling of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through various organisms in the ecosystem, such as producers, consumers, and decomposers. This process is essential for maintaining the balance and health of the ecosystem. Commensalism, introducing new species, and competitive exclusion are not related to the recycling of molecules from inorganic areas to living parts of an ecosystem.
