How the Carbon Cycle functions in Biosphere 1 (Earth) vs how it functions in our constructed Biosphere

Our Biosphere Design

What is the Carbon Cycle?

Biosphere 1 ( Earth) Vs Biosphere 3 (ours)

How it plays role?

They both have to have

photosynthesis

  • Carbons move out of fossil pool

Respiration is the burning of photosynthates.This is combined with oxygen releasing energy, carbon dioxide and water. Without oxygen, plants would not be able to survive

The combined processes, including photosynthesis, decomposition, and respiration, by which carbon as a component of various compounds cycles between its major reservoirs the atmosphere, oceans, and living organisms.

  • Release of chemical and natural energy

Use oxygen

Own climate

Different climate patterns

Responds to changes imposed on it

Own biodiversity

Energy is absorbed

Direct sunlight will induce some type of global warming

Equation for Cellular Respiration

C6H12O6 + O2 ->→ CO2 + H2O + Energy

This equation is showing the process of photosynthesis. This happens when a plant cell emits glucose and intakes oxygen and energy from the Sun.

What is Cellular Respiration?

Cellular Respiration is a set of reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP

What is Photosynthesis?

  • Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy from the Sun.

Compare

And

Contrast

Equation for Photosynthesis

How it plays role?

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthesis plays an important role in supplying energy to living things. Without the process of photosynthesis, plants would not be able to survive since no source of energy would be given to them

Inputs: Carbon Dioxide, Water,Light

Outputs:Glucose, Oxygen,Heat.

This is the equation for photosynthesis. It shows the process in which plants and some bacteria produce glucose from carbon dioxide using energy from sunlight

Driving Question

Design of Biosphere

How can we as environmental engineering consultants use our knowledge of photosynthesis, cellular respiration and the carbon cycle to design and create a working biosphere model?

When designing the biosphere our purpose was to:

  • Experiment with different plants and animals
  • Build something that will allow life to be maintained in it
  • Figure out strategies for best results with organisms
