The Carbon Cycle
The carbon cycle is a way for carbon to be reused throughout the Pacific Ocean. Carbon cycle producers are passed around onto another consumer or decomposer. If passed onto a consumer, then that consumer will eat other living organisms in order to maintian nutrients. If passed onto a decomposer, then that decomposer will bread down the dead organisms in the water (NASA Science and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory).

The Phosphorus Cycle
Not only does the phosphorus cycle involve oceans, it also involves the lithosphere. The phosphorus cycle is essential to life in the Pacific Ocean. When a plant's roots are dissolved in water, they take up phosphorus through them. Consumers are able to get phosphorus through the living organisms that they consume, and by guzzling water. Decomposers are able to get phosphorus when they consume the remains of dead creatures (Boundless and Environmental Literacy Council).
