tropical rainforest
3.1.1. Why does life thrive in the tropical rainforest?
The tropical rainforest is very rich in water and food thus life thrives. We all know that food and water are the things that animals need the most for their survival. It also has a warm temperature due to the constant energy that the sun provides. The plants need the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to be completed and use it to derived energy. And the plants serve as the food for some animals and these animals serve as the food to the carnivores. These are some of the reasons of why does life thrive in tropical rainforest.
3.1.2. Explain why most of the food for herbivores grows far above the ground.
Plants, the food for herbivores, need the sun for energy. The tall trees and plants that grow high in the forest are the ones that get most of the sunlight for it covers the smaller trees and plants. It’s why most of the food for plant-eating animals grows far above the ground because competition for sunlight favors tall trees and plants that grow high in the forests.
3.1.3. Explain why removing the capuchin monkeys from the rainforest ecosystem would have a negative impact to other living organisms like squirrel monkeys, insects, raptors and palm plants.
The capuchin monkeys have an important role in the rainforest ecosystem and removing them would make a negative impact to other living organisms that benefit from them. Just like the squirrel monkeys, they depend on the capuchin monkeys for food for they get the leftovers of the capuchin monkeys. The squirrel monkeys also forage insects and imagine if the capuchin monkeys isn’t there to provide some food for the squirrel monkeys thus making the insect population grow. Raptors mostly prey on the squirrel monkeys and if the squirrel monkeys are not there, the raptors will not have any more food to eat. This are some possibilities that could happen if capuchin monkeys are remove. It will have a chain reaction to the others.
