A food web (or food cycle) depicts feeding connections (what eats what) in an ecological communityand hence is also referred to as a consumer-resource system. Ecologists can broadly lump all life forms into one of two categories called trophic levels: 1) the autotrophs‚ and 2) the heterotrophs. To maintaintheir bodies‚ grow‚ develop‚ and to reproduce

Comparative Anatomy Investigation Aim: To create a scientific comparison between the Integumentary and Digestive systems between a mammal (i.e. Rat) and an amphibian (i.e. Toad). A dissection of both a rat and a toad had been completed to make a comparison between an amphibian and a mammal. In specific the Integumentary system and the Digestive system were closely observed and studied. This comparison will first investigate the Integumentary system and all similarities and differences the

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

Introduction Ecology may be broadly defined as the study of the interrelationships or interactions among the different components of the ecosystem. All the ecosystem components are directly and /or indirectly linked with one another. “There is constant interchange of various kinds within each system‚ not only between the organic and inorganic” (Tansley‚1935). The linking forces are two processes: the energy flow process‚ and the biochemical cycle. In other words‚ ecosystem components are
