How is the sun's energy cycled through the biosphere?

• Heterotrophs convert it into chemical energy that can be eaten by other organisms.

• Autotrophs convert it into chemical energy that can be consumed by other organisms.

• Organisms are warmed up by the sun and then release it back into the atmosphere when they sweat.

• Plants capture the sun's energy when carrying out cellular respiration.

Biosphere 2 was primarily to see if....

• a group of scientists could get along for 2 years in an enclosed space

• a group of scientists could create an enclosed environment that could sustain life indefinitely

• algae was a good indicator of global warming or climate change

• oxygen and carbon dioxide are cycled through the atmosphere
