Ecology Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another

Corinne N Bryant May 2‚ 2013 University of Phoenix The lives of the organisms in the desert require a substantial amount of survival skills. The temperature in a desert biome is always very high and it does not rain very often so it is also extremely dry. Any organisms that live in the desert must be able to adapt to these conditions in order to live. For example‚ one organism that can be found in the desert is cacti. Cacti roots are closer to the surface than other plants so it is able

Introduction There are many different biomes that cover the surface of the planet‚ but there is one that is of particular importance‚ the tropical rainforest of Africa‚ The Congo. This vast rainforest is home to almost half of Africa’s animal species and is the second largest rainforest in the world.(“pbs.org”‚ n.d.) The Congo plays an important role in climate regulation‚ both locally and globally‚ and contains a wealth of biodiversity‚ including thousands of endemic plants and

What if I told you that there was a place so harsh that only a handful of plants and animals can survive there? Well‚ there is and this place is called the tundra biome. This place is too harsh for most trees‚ too cold for large animals‚ and too isolated for most humans. The Arctic Tundra is among Earth’s coldest‚ harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on tops of mountains. The Arctic tundra is mostly located in the Northern Hemisphere but in the Southern
