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 supports between 3 and 30 million species of plants, animals, fungi, single-celled prokaryotes such as bacteria, and single-celled eukaryotes such as protozoans (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the 3 parts of the biosphere? The biosphere consists of three components: (1) lithosphere, (2) atmosphere, and (3) hydrosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth’s biosphere is the layer of the planet where life exists. That means you, me, plants, insects, bacteria, and living things on land, air, and oceans make up the biosphere.

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.
