Note from the author:

Students explore ecosystems and ecosphere.

Required

An ecosphere is a micro-ecosystem in a closed system where the organisms depend on each other to survive by making use of the carbon cycle.

What would happen to the rest of the organisms in the ecosphere if the algae were removed? Why? Explain your thinking in 3-5 full sentences.

In your answer be sure to include the following vocabulary:
Food, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Inorganic Nutrients, and Waste.

Required

Thinking about the Carbon Footprint Calculator activity where we saw how different
things increase our carbon footprint such as:
how many members are in our family,
how much money a family has to spend,
if we choose to eat more veggie and fruit instead of meat, fish and eggs products,
if we purchase products from companies that are ecofeindly or not.
Why do you think our individual actions mater to reduce our carbon footprint instead of waiting for big companies to change their practices first? Explain your thinking in full sentences.
