Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis, burning of fossil fuel, respiration is involved in the carbon cycle, transpiration is not involved in the carbon cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ammonification is a part of the nitrogen cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -ADVERTISEMENTS: Some of the major biogeochemical cycles are as follows: (1) Water Cycle or Hydrologic Cycle (2) Carbon-Cycle (3) Nitrogen Cycle (4) Oxygen Cycle. The producers of an ecosystem take up several basic inorganic nutrients from their non-living environment.
