! Why is photosynthesis so important to the biosphere? Well Organic Comes from [bio] has Heliobacteria chlorum will tell you why. -Hydrogen (C-H) bond The underappreciated job, photosynthesis, is to go up to the atmosphere to collect the Inorganic not living, no C-H bonds inorganic Carbon. Then it is changed into organic Carbon compounds and then Biosphere envelope of air, and released into the biosphere for those who in which living things exist need it. If Heliobacteria chlorum didn’t Atmosphere the layer of gases that change it to organic carbon it would be surround the planet useless for the biosphere. Without carbon, life forms like humans wouldn’t be alive Micron one millionth of a meter find out why i right now. So, it is extremely important for deserve your respect.... the life forms in the biosphere or they would have nothing to build their bodies. So that is why Heliobacteria chlorum’s job, photosynthesis, makes it a superhero!

Heliobacteria 11/12/09. . Heliobacteria Chlorum. Other know me as Helio. But you will know me as the invisible bacteria. My size Kenneth R. Miller. Heliobacterium makes me invisible because I am a chlorum: organization and structure. really small bacteria. My length is 3 12/12/09. . which is not really big so that makes me a really tiny bacteria that you can’t KIng Middle School see. It takes 9,375,000 of me to fit in a 92 Deering Avenue, Portland, ME 04102 sugar cube. Carlos M. blogs.portlandschools.org/macler Carbon is very important because it keeps living alive! The starts in the atmosphere where carbon is inorganic carbon dioxide. , bacteria, and the sun’s change this carbon to an organic form. This process is called photosynthesis. Now the organic carbon is in the biosphere and it is useful for living organisms. When a living thing in the biosphere dies, bacteria break it down and carbon is released into the atmosphere again; this also makes carbon inorganic again. This process is called respiration or fermentation. The carbon cycle continues to change carbon, the building block of life, so that every living thing has it in the way they need it.

OH MY BACTERIA! good thing he caught the murderer. Hello! I am Heliobacteria chlorum and metabolism is one of the many methods scientists use to classify bacteria like me. Classifying organisms is a way to better understand them. Metabolism is about where organisms get their carbon and energy. Their are two possible places to get your carbon. You can get your inorganic carbon from the atmosphere and you can get your organic carbon from the biosphere. Now there are two places you can get your energy, light or chemicals. Heliobacteria chlorum has a particular metabolism. It gets its energy from light and it gets its carbon from organic material in the biosphere. All organisms need carbon in one of two forms - organic or inorganic. It is very important to have both of them available so that all metabolisms can .
