  1. Ecosystems and Energy Flow BY: Natalie Portwood and Slyder welch

  2. Tropical ocean • Climate- close to the equator so warm, but gets 115in. Of rainfall each year. • Plants- Sea grass, coral reefs, kelp and red coralline. • Animals- fish; blue marlin, stone fish, smooth hammer head and etc… Reptiles; green turtle. Invertebrates; sponges and mollusks. • Limiting factors- temperature, current direction, velocity and run- off from land. • Adaptations- Many of the fish adapt to the coral reefs, giving them protection and a home. The stone fish has adopted over time to their surroundings to help keep protection from predators. All marine life have to adapt to the temperature, tides and water pressure. • Symbiotic relationships- mimicry(small fish), mutualism(shark and suction fish) and parasitism(shark and parasites).

  3. Rainforest • Climate- very hot and humid because all the rainfall, rains up to 250cm. Per year. • Plants- Trees, epiphytes, lianas and bromeliads. • Animals- amphibians; poison dart frog, red- eyed tree frog. Birds; parrot and toucan. Mammals; jaguar, spider monkey, gorilla and Bengal tiger. Reptiles; anaconda, boa constrictor and black caiman. Aquatics; piranha. • Limiting Factors- Water, food recourses and sunlight. • Adaptations- The animals such as birds that display darker colors hide from predators more easily. Monkeys have adapted by climbing up in trees to look for food and protection. A camouflage mechanism used by frogs, chameleons, poison dart frogs and caterpillars. • Symbiotic relationships- Mutualism( monkeys and trees), Parasitism(leaf-cutter ants) and Commensalism(ants).
