Agriculture in the Amazon Rainforest Throughout a hundred centuries people have worked hard to sustain productive agriculture and dense human populations. Certain forms of agriculture are possible‚ and should be considered sustainable‚ for the economic development of tropical rainforests.

a) The table above helps us to understand why larger organisms need to become multicellular rather than just increase the size of their cells. The information in the table shows that as an organism gets larger in size‚ its surface area to volume ratio will decrease. However‚ the smaller the organism is‚ the greater its surface area to volume ratio will be. A small uncellular organism would have a large surface area in which diffusion (the movement of molecules) can take place. Diffusion is essential

Example of a mutualistic relationship An example of a mutualistic relationship in the Daintree rainforest is the relationship between the Ulysses butterfly and the pink flowered doughwood. This relationship is mutualistic because the pink flowered doughwood needs a specific insect pollinator‚ the Ulysses butterfly‚ and the Ulysses butterfly relies on the pink flowered doughwood for the nectar on which it survives‚ making them both benefit and rely on each other. Example of a commensal relationship

It is a practice of stealing people’s organ through surgery under the influence of drugs or from a dead person‚ and the organs are normally sold in black market such as China.
