In this section, include a brief description of the allocated ecosystem, you should include the following information
'A Tropical Rainforest can be found in Asia , Australia , Africa , Southern America , Central America and Mexico.'
'A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator. This ecosystem experiences high average temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall
The tropical rainforest is full of tropical birds, mammals, reptiles and insects because of the amount of food and water there.
Search the Internet for information on the following physical factors in the allocated ecosystem.
Light (availability of sunlight in the ecosystem),There are 2% of light in the rainforest
Temperature (temperature of the ecosystem),the temperature of a rainforest is 26.9 degees
Water (water quality in the ecosystem),the amount of water in a rainforest is 755 litres
Air (quality of air in the ecosystem), there is mostly water vapor and oxygen in a tropical rainforest as it gets more than 100 litres of water a day and the amount of plants there.
Trees make food by the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis occurs if the there is chlorophyll (the green subtance you find on leaves)
If there is no chlorophyll there will be some on the underside of the leaf.
Banana trees make food by the process of photosynthesis.
photosynthesis occurs if the there is chlorophyll(the green subtance you find on leaves)
if there is no chlorophyll there will be some on the underside of the leaf.
'squirrels cannot digest cellulose so must rely on foods rich in protein, carbohydrates and fats.
'Monkeys eat a variety of things, depending on the species. Their diets include flowers, fruits,
nuts, leaves , seeds, insects bird's eggs and spiders.'
cheetah
'Cheethahs are carnivorous and their favourite meal is usually thomson's gazelles . There are are all sorts
of game that is available for cheethahs depending on where they are in their range. Meat is a main stable of their diet and they can gorge themsevles easily they usually go a couple of days without eating unless one is a female and either pregnant or has kits. then the kill rate is one deer per day.'
For each of the living organism, find a picture and write a short description on the organism. You may wish to include feeding habits, region in the ecosystem where it is normally found etc.
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:
Wild cats and deers, carnivorous birds and small rodent.
'Parasitism is a form of symblosis in which one of the organism involved benefits while the other is harmed.
An example would be ticks and monkeys.Monkeys carry ticks which feed on their blood.'
'In mutualism both organisms benefit from interaction. Example sloth hairs are grooved. Which allows algae
to easily take hold and grow on sloth's fur. This camoflages the sloth and allows algae to get closer to the
sunlight.'
Plagarism is a strongly discouraged.
Include the links of all websites you obtained information from to complete your ecology wiki.
