such as omnivores and grazers. Consumers are living organisms that feed of other living organisms within the same ecosystem. Herbivores that feed of green plants are called the primary consumers‚ whereas organisms that feed off other carnivores are called tertiary consumers(Different Types of Ecosystems‚ 2012). Some prime example of an Everglade consumer would be the Florida Panther‚ American Alligator‚ and the Green Sea Turtle. A decomposer is an organism that is responsible

Interaction between Abiotic and Biotic Components All living organisms depend upon their environment for survival essentials: 1) food 2) shelter 3) breeding site. In turn the organism interacts with the environment in several ways. For example a plant uses the environment for the three purposes named above but in turn it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the air‚ it gets eaten by an animal or a parasite and it depends on the soil for its support. Therefore the plant is interacting

extinct‚ now humans won’t be able to know how cave lions acted and humans won’t be able to see them in real life‚ just because humans wanted some fur. In the same article it also states “The cave lion bones were found among the remains of other large carnivores‚ like bears‚ that also display evidence of human use.” (para.11). Humans did not only skin cave lions‚ but they also skinned other animals. To this day‚ many types of bears are becoming endangered‚ maybe if they weren’t skinned and killed‚ there

Four and a half billion years ago‚ the debris and dust left from the formation of the sun coalesced to form our home planet. 3.5 billion years ago‚ the first living organisms appeared on Earth. About 230 million years ago‚ Dinosaurs diverged from their Archosaurs ancestors during the middle to late Triassic period. For 160 million years they have dominated our planet. They are dubbed the most successful species to have lived on Earth. However‚ 65 million years ago‚ the most recent mass extinction
