Essential Factors for Life: Temperature, Water, Atmosphere, Energy, Nutrients, Exercises of Biology

AstrobiologyEnvironmental ScienceBiologyGeology

An in-depth exploration of the five essential factors for life: temperature, water, atmosphere, energy, and nutrients. how each factor impacts life on Earth and what the planet's requirements are for these factors to exist. Students will learn about the importance of temperature in determining habitability, the role of water as a solvent and essential requirement for life, the protective function of the atmosphere, the energy sources that sustain life, and the role of nutrients in growth and maintenance.

What you will learn

  • What role does the atmosphere play in sustaining life?
  • Why is water an essential requirement for life?
  • What sources of energy sustain life on Earth?
  • What are the five essential factors for life on Earth?
  • How does temperature impact habitability?

Biological Factors Illustration/ Picture (Draw or cut picture that is related to the biological factor. Based on your experience, answer the following questions briefly 1. Temperature The surface temperature of a planet has profound impacts on its habitability. When a planet self- regulates, that temperature can stabilize, but if a world is constantly sweating off heat, the surface could wind up too hot for water. Temperature affects this ability. Temperature determines what the landscape looks like, and also determines what type of life can grow. Temperature later causes evaporation if there is enough moisture 2. Water Almost all the processes that make up life on Earth can be broken down into chemical reactions - and most of those reactions require a liquid to break down substances so they can move and interact freely.Liquid water is an essential requirement for life on Earth because it functions as a solvent. It is capable of dissolving substances and enabling key chemical reactions in The degree or intensity of heat present in a substances or oject especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and and shown by athermometer or pereceived by the touch.The distance of the Earth from the sun provides a range of -15°C to 115°C that is considered to be the ideal temperature range to support life – not too hot, not too cold. 2. Water Water is what makes up more than 60% of our body composition. It important in the normal functioning of our cells. Water is also abundant on the Earth’s surface Without adequate water, human would not be able to survive.Water safety safe measurement water surviving in the water. 3. Atmosphere The atmosphere keeps the heat on the Earth’s surface. It shields the surface from harmful radiation, and contains elements needed for life, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The Earth has the right size to sustain an atmosphere. Without the atmosphere, it would be very hot on our planet and no one would be able to survive it.The gaseous blanket of air that surrounds the earth it is always moving and the condition in the atmosphere are always changing today or year to year. 4. Energy   The ability to be active the physical at mental strength that allows you to do things.Many organisms on Earth use the energy source from the sun for their daily functioning. The Earth has the perfect amount of steady sunlight to support these biological processes. 5. Nutrients A substance that provides nourishment essential of growth and the maintenance of life.Nutrients are what builds our bodies and make us healthy. The Earth is full of these nutrients which we can easily find. Assessment 1. C 2. A 3. A 4. C 5. C 6. A 7. C 8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A Additional Activities
