the Earth 14 Notes BIOSPHERE We know that our earth is the only planet where life is found. That is why this planet is also known as living planet or ‘sphare’ of ‘life’. This sphere contains those qualities atmosphere‚ lithosphere and hydrosphere. They all enable the life to exist on this planet. But do you know this is a very small portion of the earth where life exists. Beyond this narrow space of the earth‚ there is no life forms found. What is so special about this narrow zone of the

By the most general biophysiological definition‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ geosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning with a process of biopoesis (life created naturally from non-living matter such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter)‚ at least some 3

From the broadest bio physiological point of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. 2- How do ecologists define an ecosystem? A system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment. 3- What does the competitive exclusion principle state? In ecology‚ the competitive exclusion

Study Guide: Chapters 3 and 4 Answer the following questions—you do not need to answer in complete questions. Differentiate between potential‚ kinetic and low quality energy. Potential- Energy that is stored in an object due to its configuration Kinetic- energy an object possess due to its motion and mass. Low quality- Energy that is unorganized and do little work. How does entropy relate to the continual energy needs of organisms Entropy represents the disorder of a system which allows the
