• How is light converted into glucose and other
  sugar molecules?

• What determines the specific composition of the
  Earth’s atmosphere?

• How important are the oceans for water cycling?

II. Decide whether these statements are true or false (t/f).

1. The biosphere is sphere of soils and rocks.

2. The ozone layer protects living beings from UV
   rays.

3. The deep ocean vent communities need sunlight
   for utilizing the chem­istry of the hot volcanic vents.

5. The process of photosynthesis releases carbon.

Glucose and other sugar molecules are concentrated
in nectar and entice pollinators to aid plants in reproduction.

• Water and carbon dioxide are the two constituents
  which cause the proc­ess of cellular respiration.

  lithosphere, atmosphere and bio-

photosynthesis, nitrogen, atmosphere The first step to an
understanding the interrelationship of living organisms

and their nonliving is
to begin with t he sun. From it comes most of the

on earth. But, it is
largely unavailable to animals directly. It must be

transmitted to them by green vegetation through a
process known as

In this process the is
transferred through a substance in the vegetation

called
chlorophyll (from Greek,
chloros, green, and
phyllos, leaf) in the pres­ence
of water to become and
food sugar. Now, animals can receive their

energy by eating or
other animals (who have eaten plants at some stage).

As plants and animals decay, with the help of
bacteria and fungi, they release chemicals in the earth, helping to
feed plants.

This circulation makes the earth’s basic
substances — — and

others move between the earth’s main stratums: air
(the ), water

(the ), soil
and rocks (the )
and living organisms (the ).
