Period 2 4-11-12 They Should Be Saved Rainforests cover about six percent of the world. Millions of tribal people inhabit these rainforests. A little less than fifty percent of the world’s animals and insects live in the rainforests. Although rainforests seem so important‚ they are being destroyed at an alarming rate today. Humans should stop cutting down rainforests because destroying them causes plants and insects to become endangered and there is also a great supply of fruit and nut trees

The Rainforest supports a largest number and greatly diverse variety of animals. Many plants and animals in the rainforest must adapt to survive the warm temperatures and a large amount of constant rainfall year around. Plants are important for the rain forest because they enable the survival of many other species. In fact‚ since plants must reach the sunlit areas they must adapt and wrap around trees in order to take nutrients and collect water when it rains. These plants also give rise to animals

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

Biology 105 Q: What are five issues that biological research may help us solve in the near future? A: In the near future Biological research may assist scientist in solving severe problems that have an impact on all forms of life. One problem at hand is how to control the human population. The human race is rapidly increasing and this has had a negative effect on the existence of natural ecosystems. Which leads to another issue Biological research may help scientists solve‚ producing

Julius Scheiner was most likely the first person to realise there was a possibility of silicon being a basis of life. This idea was then grapsed by the british scientist James Reynolds in 1893. he then pointed out that its molecular integrity withheld in high temperatures which might allow life to exist at very high temperatures. Silicon seems promising when it comes to being the basis of life‚ but when the topic is researched futher. Carbon‚ when it is oxidized during the respiratory process‚ it becomes
