Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s ecosphere! Containing bacteria, algae, and tiny shrimp, this ecosphere was sealed in 1999 and hasn’t been opened since—it’s a self-sustaining habitat. Inside, algae make food from sunlight; shrimp take oxygen from the water and exhale carbon dioxide; and algae take in the carbon dioxide and give off oxygen! Microbes feed the shrimp—and in turn, the carbon dioxide-rich shrimp poop helps the algae and microbes!
