What are the components of the Biosphere?

2.Some prokaryotes play essential roles in the ecology of the biosphere. Give examples and describe their impacts.
The fruit-eating bat Sturnira erythromos feeds mostly on fig trees in high-elevation cloud forests in the Andes mountains of South America. Other animals also feed on fig fruits, including monkeys and toucans. Another group of Sturnira erythromos also occurs in neighboring deserts in Peru (here they mostly eat cactus fruit). What is an organism, population, species, guild, community, biome, and biosphere from this example? (one or two words describing each is sufficient)
