Diciduous Forest
A Diciduous Forest is a forest that experiences all four seasons. The trees there shed their leaves in the winter, and some animals hibernate in winter also. The producers in this biome include grass, berries, and seeds. 1st level consumers include grasshoppers, squirrels, and rabbits; 2nd level: mouse and frogs. At the very top of the food web are the primary consumers, these include foxes, snakes, and an owl.
Mutualism
A mutual relationship is we're both species are benefited. An example of this can be a a cow and a bird, the bird eats the parasites off of the cow. The bird gets to eat and the cow gets rid of the parasites, both parties are happy.
Commensalism
Commensalism is a relationship where one species is being helped and the other doesn't care. An example of this is between a bird and a tree. The bird builds its nest in a tree and the tree doesn't care. One is happy, one doesn't care.
Parasitism
Parasitism is where one is benefited and one is harmed. An example of this can be between a tick and a person. The tick is benefited and the human is displeased. One is happy, one is harmed.
Ways Humans Inpact the Environment
Humans play a big role in the environment. The benefits from a human can be production of CO2 and poop used as fertilizer, but humans can also have a negative effect on the environment too. The cars we use produce toxic chemicals, these chemicals can be one of the reasons for global warming. Humans both benefit the environment and hurt it too.
Grass
Grass plays an important role in the environment. It is a producer that is eaten by many different animals. Grass has the most potential energy.
Mouse
A mouse is a 1st level consumer that eats the producer. It has the second most energy out of the entire food web. The mouse can be food for the 2nd level or the top level consumer.
Fox
The fox is a top level consumer that will not get eaten by any other animal. It will feast on any 2nd level consumer and has the least amount of energy.
