Flowers in the Biosphere

"Energy flows through systems in one direction while matter cycles around and around." (Robertson 2014).

As energy goes in a continuous flow, which can be described just like a steady car that is going straight down I-75. Just like energy, the car keeps a steady speed and is uninterrupted until it reaches its destination. Now the total opposite of energy is matter, which is just like a tire on a car, which has a cycle and just goes continuously around and around. The tires carry the car down the rode just like matter carries energy through systems. They work in tandem to get the environment working the way it should so that everything is exactly how it is supposed to be. Each environment has its own energy and different matter sources, to help obtain different results for different environments within every biosphere. Energy and matter go to the smallest organism in a biosphere to the biggest. Even humans have energy and matter that flows through them to make them the complete person they are.

"Biologists currently recognize five kingdoms of living beings: plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria." (Robertson 2014)

  Every thing on the planet has characteristics that give it a certain place in the world. So if even when someone does not know exactly where they fit they can think of the five kingdoms of livings being and find where they want to be in the this world and how they want to be classified. The biologists knew that things would be in disarray if they did not have any order within the world. They even broke it down even more so that you would know the difference between something that is a cell with a nucleus, to something that is a cell that does not have a nucleus. This helps sell the fact that every organism and everything in the animal kingdom has its own energy and matter that flows through things so that it can be apart of the universe.

"A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in an area. A community is all the populations that live in an area." (Robertson 2014)

  A population is filled with individuals that have unique attributes that make them completely different. If everyone were the same in a population everyone would be carbon copy of each other, which is very boring. Communities are formed with numerous forms of very different populations so that even the communities are not all the same. If there were no populations or communities in the world the animal kingdom would have no purpose for the world.  Each community has a niche which is where they are able to commune and be able to live in a spot where everyone feels at home.
