THE BIOSPHERE The environment (biosphere) extends to about 20 km from the bottom of the ocean to the highest point in the atmosphere at which life can survive without manmade protective devices. Biosphere contains about 1.8 million known species. The essential requisites of life for all life forms (light‚ heat‚ water‚ food‚ and habitats) are supplied by the biosphere. Biosphere is very complex and large‚ so it is divided into smaller units (ecosystems). Each ecosystem consists of two parts: biotic
