Biologically mediated mass/ energy transfer across a system boundary?

Question

What is the term for biologically mediated mass/ energy transfer across a system boundary?

Answer 1

Hi Rahul,

Biological Flux is the term that you are looking for. This may include the transfer of substances like nutrients or elements like carbon, nitrogen, etc., facilitated by biological processes like diffusion or active transport. This may also include processes which generate energy like respiration, photosynthesis, etc.

Hope this helps.
