Why is photosynthesis so important to the biosphere? Well Heliobacteria chlorum will tell you why. The underappreciated job, photosynthesis, is to go up to the atmosphere to collect the inorganic Carbon. Then it is changed into organic Carbon compounds and then released into the biosphere for those who need it. If Heliobacteria chlorum didn’t change it to organic carbon it would be useless for the biosphere. Without carbon, life forms like humans wouldn’t be alive right now. So, it is extremely important for the life forms in the biosphere or they would have nothing to build their bodies. So that is why Heliobacteria chlorum’s job, photosynthesis, makes it a superhero!

Other bacteria know me as Helio. But you will know me as the invisible bacteria. My size makes me invisible because I am a really small bacteria. My length is 3 microns and my width is .5 microns, which is not really big so that makes me a really tiny bacteria that you can’t see. It takes 9,375,000 of me to fit in a sugar cube. if you don't know some of the words here they are. find out why i deserve your respect....
