Overview
Movile Cave is located at Constanta Country, Romania. It was discovered by Cristian Lascu in 1986. Movile Cave is a few kilometers away from the Black Sea coast.
It is rich in carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. It is very poor in oxygen. Life in the cave has been separated from the outside for the past 5.5 million years.

It is based completelyon chemosynthesisrather than photosynthesis.

Physical Factors
 

Air

Oxygen- 10%                         Oxygen- 21%

Carbon Dioxide- 3.5%                                                                            Carbon Dioxide- 0.04%
Methane- 2%                                                                                          Argon- 1%
                                                                                                                 Nitrogen- 78.09%

Water
The water contains 1-2% of Methane(CH4) andhigh concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia(NH3).
Temperature
Theclimate changed 5.5 millions ago. The temperaturebeing tropical to temperate.

Physical Factors
Search the Internet for information on the following physical factors in the allocated ecosystem.
Light (availability of sunlight in the ecosystem),

Classification of Living Organisms
Classify at least eight of the living organisms found in the allocated ecosystem into the categories below:

1.Producers-Algae and plants.

2.Primary Consumers-Mollusks,Small Ostracodela(Seed Shrimp)

3.Secondary Consumers-Haemopis Caeca,Ostrecode

4.Tertiary Consumers- Agraecina Cristiani

5. Decomposers-Bacteria

   
Algae are plant-like organisms just like plant,which uses the energy of sunlight to make their own food--photosynthesis.They capture more of the sun's energy and produce more oxygen.

                                                
Mollusks are the largest marine phylum,that lives in fresh water and terrestrail habbitats.

                                              
Small Ostracodas'bodies are flattened from a side to another and being protected by bivalve-like shell,living/found on or inside the upper layer of sea floor.

Haemopis Caeca is a worm that is highly resistant to the toxic effects of hydrogen,the male median reproductive apparatus is found anterior to the female median.

Agraecina Cristiani is a spider that does not has a web,and commonly found living on the ground.

Bacteria have a wide range of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.Which could be found anywhere and everywhere.

3.Secondary Consumers

Tertiary Consumers
Decomposers
For each of the living organism,find a pictureand write a short description on the organism. You may wish to include feeding habits,region in the ecosystem where it is normally found etc.

Food Web
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.
Interrelationship in Ecosystem
Give at least one example for each of the following relationships in the ecosystem:
Predator-prey relationship:
Parasitism: is a non-mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.
Mutualism: is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits. Similar interactions within a species are known as co-operation.
