Question

In biosphere, energy is received from the sun and interior of
A. Earth
B. Plants
C. Rocks
D. Minerals

Answer 1

Hint:-The sum of total worldwide ecosystems are termed as biosphere or ecosphere. This is characterized by the zone of life on earth. The biosphere is a self-regulatory system that allows energy transfer and interaction of living beings with natural elements such as lithosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere integrating all living beings.

Complete Answer:-The energy steps in the ecosystem and exits through the decomposition of organisms. The sun provides the maximum energy to the biosphere which is received in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is widely used in the ecosystem and returns to nature when decomposed in the form of heat. The interior of the earth provides this energy back to the ecosystem in the biosphere in the form of heat and thus the law of conservation of energy is satisfied.
In the given options above, plants are the component of the biosphere that contribute to the utilization of energy in the system. Rocks and minerals are the components of the lithosphere and interact with the biosphere components, attributing to their well being.

Hence, option “A” that is Earth is the correct answer.

Note:- Biosphere is thought to evolve from the origin of biopoiesis of biogenesis. The term biopoiesis designates the theory of the natural formation of life from organic compounds. On the other hand, the term biogenesis refers to the natural formation of life from the living compounds. It is assumed that the evolution of the biosphere began at least some 3.5 billion years ago.
