Geosphere: The leaves don’t actually grow from soil but grows from a stem of a plant. The process of a growth of a leaves begin with the meristem which is a area that cells growth and developent of growing is responsible. It’s important to know that while leaves obtain water and nutrients from the soil, their growth primarily occurs through the process of cell division, and photosynthesis.

Biosphere: Leaves are a really important role in the biosphere, which refers to the part of the Earth where living organisms exist. They are major components of the Earth’s ecosystems and have several important relationships within the biosphere.

Atmosphere: Stomata, which are tiny holes on the surface of leaves, are mostly found on the underside of the leaf. Stomata control gas exchange between the atmosphere and the leaf. Stomata open throughout the daytime when sunlight is present to let in the carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis and release oxygen. In a process known as transpiration, water vapour is also lost stomata at the same time.

Hydrosphere: Through transpiration, leaves contribute significantly to the water cycle by releasing water vapour into the atmosphere. To control temperature and emit water vapour as a byproduct of photosynthesis through tiny holes on their surfaces known as stomata. The amount of moisture in the atmosphere as a whole is increased by this process. Water returns to the hydrosphere as rain when the water vapour ultimately condenses to create clouds.

Producer: Trees

The ecosystem of a forest depends heavily on trees. They carry out a process known as photosynthesis, which turns light, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose. Additionally, trees may convert solar energy into chemical energy. Remember that trees do depend on cellular respiration since it enables cells to capture and utilise energy when it is required for growth or life.

Consumers: Dragonflies and insects

Some dragonflies and insects species eat tree fragments as part of their diet. For instance, whereas certain insects, such as ants, may eat tree fruits or seeds, woodpeckers only eat the insects that live in the trunk and branches of trees. Although they don’t participate in photosynthesis, dragonflies indirectly rely on the energy that plants obtain from it.

Decomposers: Fungi

Energy cycling both within and between ecosystems is significantly influenced by fungi. Fungi are a broad group of decomposers that break down dead plants and animals. They may be found in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater settings. In addition to bacteria, this community consists include bigger invertebrates including snails, beetles, and earthworms as well as smaller invertebrates like nematodes. Organic material is transformed by fungi into forms that other decomposers can use and into nourishment for plants.

Which organisms store energy through photosynthesis? Producers

Which organisms release energy through cellular respiration? All organisms such as plant, animals, fungi, bacteria, and huamans go through cellular respiration.
