The following is the space colony project that you will be completing on quia next week. On the first day of the space colony project, spend some time reviewing this information and pre-writing. You will be constructing your response on Quia on the second day. You will only get one attempt at answering the question and the space colony project will be open notes.

Go to the above link and read the three pages on the carbon cycle. Then use this information to answer the following questions.
You have been selected as a member of a team of scientists charged with the task of designing a system to sustain life in space. Your responsibility is to be a Biology expert on the team. Therefore, you don't have to worry about how to build the system but rather what types of organisms to put in the system in order to keep the carbon cycle going without any outside input.
a. List and describe the types of organisms you will put in your system.
b. Explain how the presence of this combination of organisms (living things) will allow the carbon cycle to be maintained. Make sure you fully explain the reactions we have been studying over the past few weeks.
