Biogeochemical Cycles Proportions of organic elements in seawater differ from the proportions of sea salts because: The principle of constant proportions does not apply to these elements. These nonconservative constituents have concentrations and proportions that vary independently of salinity owing to biological and geological activity. All life depends on material from the nonliving part of the Earth. The continuous flow of elements and compounds between organisms (biological form) and the Earth (geological form) is the biogeochemical cycle.

Organisms require specific elements and compounds to stay alive. Aside from gases used in respiration or photosynthesis, those substances required for life are called nutrients. The primary nutrient elements related to seawater chemistry are carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, iron, and a few other trace metals. Not all nutrients and compounds cycle at the same rate. The biogeochemical cycle of the various nutrients affects the nature of organisms and where they live in the sea.

Carbon Carbon is the fundamental element of life. Carbon compounds form the basis for chemical energy and for building tissues. Carbon dioxide must be transformed into other carbon compounds for use by heterotrophs. The movement of carbon between the biosphere and the nonliving world is described by the carbon cycle.

Nitrogen Nitrogen is another element crucial to life on Earth. Organisms require nitrogen for organic compounds such as protein, chlorophyll, and nucleic acids. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air and 48% of the gases dissolved in seawater.

Phosphorus and Silicon Phosphorus is another element important to life because it is used in the ADP/ATP cycle, by which cells convert chemical energy into the energy required for life. Phosphorus combined with calcium carbonate is a primary component of bones and teeth.

Silicon is used similarly by some organisms in the marine environment (including diatoms and radiolarians) for their shells and skeletons. Silicon exists in these organisms as silicon dioxide, called silica.

Iron and Trace Metals Iron and other trace metals fit into the definition of a micronutrient. These are essential to organisms for constructing specialized proteins, including hemoglobin and enzymes. Other trace metals used in enzymes include manganese, copper, and zinc.

Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion is the tendency for a liquid, gas, or solute to flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is diffusion through a semipermeable cell membrane.

This has important implications with respect to marine animals. Hypertonic - having a higher salt concentration, and the water will diffuse into the cells. It is what happens when you put a marine fish into fresh water. Isotonic - when water concentration inside the cell is the same as the surrounding water outside the cell. There is no osmotic pressure in either direction. Marine fish cells are isotonic. Hypotonic - having a lower salt concentration than the surrounding water. It is what happens when you put a freshwater fish into seawater.

Active Transport, Osmoregulators, and Osmoconformers Osmosis through a semipermeable cell membrane is called passive transport. Passive transport moves materials in and out of a cell by normal diffusion. The process of cells moving materials from low to high concentration is called active transport. Active transport takes energy because it goes against the flow of diffusion.

Active Transport, Osmoregulators, and Osmoconformers (continued) Marine fish that have a regulation process that allows them to use active transport to adjust water concentration within their cells are osmoregulators. Marine organisms that have their internal salinity rise and fall along with the water salinity are osmoconformers.
