DEFINITION
An ecosphere is a planetary body
closed ecological system
The ecosphere (also sometimes
called the 'biosphere')
Includes the atmosphere,
hydrosphere and lithosphere
WHICH support LIFE (biosphere)
ECOSPHERE
BIOSHPERE
ECOPHERE VS BIOSPHERE
FUNCTION
The function of each ecosphere is like a
battery
EcoSphere works by gathering energy
from the light and converting it
biochemically
PHOTOSYNTHESIS---OXYGEN
PRODUCTION -------SHRIMP------FEEDS
ON ALGAE AND BACTERIA
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
EACH ECOSPHERE
The Ecosphere. Every ecosystem can
have other ecosystems inside of it.
The Earth itself is one ecosystem and
comprises all the other ecosystems.
 The Ecosphere is the name we
give to our planet when we think of it as
an ecosystem.
Bacteria play important roles in
the global ecosystem.
The cycling of nutrients such as
carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur
These bacteria convert gaseous
nitrogen into nitrates or nitrites as
part of their metabolism, and the
resulting products are released into
the environment.
ARTIFICIAL ECOSPHERE/CLOSED
ECOSPHERE
An EcoSphere(R) is a glass globe
with sea water, bacteria, gravel, a
piece of coral, algae, several algae-
eating shrimp and an air pocket all
sealed inside.
