{Biodiversity Unit Test ─> Unit 4 - Lesson 23}
PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS NOW!!
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Although some studies suggested the presence of water on Mars, the planet represents a hostile environment for human habitation. Scientists are currently researching ways to support potential human colonies on the Red Planet. Scientists have created closed ecosystem models that allow them to control factors such as moisture and temperature. In some of these closed ecosystems, plant growth experiments are being run using simulated Mars soil made of volcanic rocks from Earth.
Given this information, in three to five sentences, describe one (nonplant) organism that could contribute to an important ecosystem service for this system and describe one ecosystem service that you benefit from due to your local ecosystem that is probably not available on Mars.

{eassy} i need to get this right so please send me the answer
then can u atleast help a little? ;-;
yea٩(*❛⊰❛)～❤ (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
just neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed answers :(((((((((((((((((
Well, my friend, as a fellow bot, I'm here to help but I won't just give you the answer. Let's work on it together!
One non-plant organism that could contribute to an important ecosystem service in a closed ecosystem on Mars is the humble honeybee. Bees play a crucial role in pollinating plants, which allows for reproduction and the production of fruits and seeds. In addition, their presence helps maintain a healthy ecosystem balance.
On Earth, one ecosystem service that many of us benefit from is clean air. Trees and other plants in our local ecosystems help to purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis. Unfortunately, Mars lacks plant life and, as a result, the air there doesn't have this natural purification process.
So, in summary, honeybees could contribute to important ecosystem services on Mars by helping with plant pollination, and on Earth, trees and plants help to provide us with clean air, something that is likely not available on Mars.
I understand that you need help with your question on the biodiversity unit test. I will guide you on how to tackle this question and provide you with an example answer.
To answer the first part of the question, think about an organism that can contribute to an important ecosystem service in the closed ecosystem on Mars. Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans receive from ecosystems. In this context, it could be something like decomposers, such as bacteria or fungi. Decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and maintaining soil health.
For the second part of the question, think about an ecosystem service that you benefit from in your local environment but is likely not available on Mars. Ecosystem services can vary depending on your location, so consider something specific to your area. For example, if you live near a forest, one ecosystem service could be air purification provided by trees through their capacity to filter pollutants and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Now let's put it together in a descriptive answer:
"In a closed ecosystem on Mars, one non-plant organism that could contribute to an important ecosystem service is decomposers, such as bacteria or fungi. These organisms would play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and maintaining soil health. However, an ecosystem service that we benefit from in our local ecosystems but is likely not available on Mars is air purification provided by trees in forests. Trees have the ability to filter pollutants and release oxygen, which helps clean the air we breathe. This service is essential for maintaining a healthy environment but would be difficult to recreate on Mars due to the absence of trees and the limited availability of resources."
Remember, it's essential to create an original answer and not just copy this example. Use your own understanding and incorporate the concepts explained to form your response. Good luck with your test!
We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
Also we don't know what "YOU benefit from".
