Draw a diagram that shows how the element Calcium might cycle through the components of a terrestrial ecosystem, including different trophic levels. Label all arrows that show Calcium fluxes and depict the direction of Calcium flow with the direction of arrows. Include all major components and fluxes in an ecosystem nutrient cycle.

Some hints: Calcium originates from rocks and soil minerals. There is hardly any in the air except in dust. Calcium is needed by all organisms, in large quantities for bones and shells in animals, but also for essential cell functions in bacteria, other microbes, plants, and animals.

Create a flow chart diagram with labeled arrows and either labeled boxes or labeled drawings of ecosystem components.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer:

The calcium cycle involves transfer of calcium between dissolved liquids and solid phases.
Calcium travels from waterways of rocks, organisms, and soils.
Calcium ions are consumed and removed and react with calcium carbonate and calcium silicate etc.
Calcium ions are also used biologically, The calcium cycle is a thread that binds the marine,terrestrial,biological and geological processes.
As calcium cycles through the earth, it moves through different media.

Please find the diagram below showing the calcium cycle:
