2) Use the infomation from the website and books you have read from.
3) You should include the following :

--> The variety of different species in an ecosystem,genetic variation within a population of a species,and variety of kinds of ecosystems.
Search the Internet for information on the following physical factors in the African Savannah ecosystem.
--> Light such as Sunlight is important to plants because plants need sunlight to grow and to photosynthesis . It is also to provide energy to warm the earth's atmosphere . The light intensity controls the plants growth and the light durations affects the plants flowering , animals and also insects .
--> The average temperature for the African Savannah's is about 27 degree . Its having peaks is 30 degree in cold months which in April and October .
--> All living organisms need water to survive . Organisms who lives in dry ecosystems are adapted by storing water for used over long periods . For some of the plants and animals , they can only survived by being submersed in water .
--> The quality of air in the ecosystem is polluted by smoke and by exhaust fumes .
Classify at least eightof the living organisms found in the African Savannah ecosystem into the categories below:
--> Green plant such as trees
2. Primary Consumers
--> Zebra's
--> Giraffe's
--> Elephant's
3. Secondary Consumers
--> Leapord's
--> Cheetah's
4. Tertiary Consumers
--> Lion's
5. Decomposers
--> Bacteria
For each of the living organism, find a picture and write a short description on the organism.
Write down where the plant / animal can be found, what the animal feeds on and how it survives / escapes from being eaten or killed.
Create a food web using at least eight of the living organisms listed above. You may wish to use Microsoft PowerPoint to create your food web. Save your food web as a picture. Finally copy and paste your picture in this section of your wiki.
Give at least one example for each of the following relationships in the ecosystem:
