BIOSPHERE (Major biomes)

Question 1

ABIOTIC?

BIOTIC?

Answer 1

Abiotic:
🔹Lithos, hydros, atmosp (Non-living)
BIOTIC
🔸plants, animals, microbes
🔸consist small functional units called ecosystem.

Question 2

ECOSYSTEM?

Answer 2

🔸self sustaining strutural
🔸functional units
🔸large or small
🔸exchange of energy and material b/w adjoining ecosystem(natural or artificial)
📍NATURAL: forests, grasslands, deserts and Hillsides
📍Artificial: man made, croplands, garden, parks and aquarium.

Question 3

BIOMES?

BIOME?

Answer 3

▪scientists organise earth’s ecosystem into defined categories
👉Biomes
▪️based on climate and geographical conditions.
➕BIOME:
🔺where plant and animal are adapted accor to range of temp and moisture conditions.
🔺scientists defines biomes by climate.

Question 4

BIMOES’S CATEGORIES?

Answer 4

TERRESTRIAL 🌳🌲
AQUATIC 💦
OCEANIC 🌊

Question 5

Teresterial Biomes?

Answer 5

🌳🌲TERRESTRIAL BIOMES:
🔺Determine by the temperature and percitipation throughout the year.
📌temperate biomes:
🔸located in mid-lati, colder and drier.
📌tropical biomes:
🔸close to the equator, 
warmer and wetter.

Question 6

AQUATIC BIOMES?

Answer 6

☑️also called water based ecosystem
☑️strongly influenced by the distance they are from sunlight
📌FRESHWATER BIOMES:
🔺aquatic system founds on continents, where water isn’t salty.
🔺include streams and river lake and ponds, wetlands.

Question 7

OCEANIC BIOMES?

Answer 7

🌟Distance from the shore and depth from the surface defines biomes in the oceans.
➕Oceanographer use “Zone” to define ecosystem of oceans.

(I.P.B.A)

📌INTERDIAL ZONE:
🔸area covered & uncoverd by tides daily, home to unique ecosys.
🚩barnacles, mussels, crabs, stars.

📌PLAGIC ZONE:
🔸upper layer of sea water
➕Euphotic zone: where sunlight penetrates to a depth of 200m
🚩fish, whales and dolphins
➕Bathyal Zone: below 200m
🔸less sunlight than Euphotic
🔸"Disphotic zone"

📌BENTHIC ZONE:
🔸found at seafloor
🚩sea weed, fish, fungi, Bacteria

📌ABYSSAL ZONE:
🔸⛔️sunlight, darkest depth
🔸"Aphotic Zone"
🔸organisms here are adapted to dark
🔸some create energy through "Chemosynthesis", chemical🔄energy

Question 8

BIOSPHERE?

Answer 8

🔺life supporting zone

🔺Atmos➕Hydros➕Litho meet and interact and make life possible
