AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The biosphere is made up of the parts of Earth where life exists-all ecosystems. The biosphere extends from the deepest root systems of trees, to the dark environments of ocean trenches, to lush rain forests, high mountaintops, and transition zones like this one, where ocean and terrestrial ecosystems meet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The biosphere is the region of the earth that encompasses all living organisms: plants, animals and bacteria. It is a feature that distinguishes the earth from the other planets in the solar system. “Bio” means life, and the term biosphere was first coined by a Russian scientist (Vladimir Vernadsky) in the 1920s.

Detailed explanation-3: -The biosphere is a term that encompasses all the ecosystems on Earth. It, therefore, includes both non-living elements (like sunlight and water) and living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biosphere is not found everywhere some areas do not support the conditions required for Biosphere. Hence Organisms are not uniformly distributed throughout the world.

Detailed explanation-5: -The biosphere includes all life on our planet. It is not only all the things that are living, but also the remains of organisms that have died and not yet decomposed. It also includes the regions of the other parts of the Earth system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere) occupied by living organisms.
