Freshwater Biome
Adaptations, weather, variations, organisms, etc...
Organisms And Interdependency
Some examples of fresh water organisms are fish (bass, catfish, perch etc), ducks, bears, and much more. Some of these animals adapt to the predators and environment. Ex- Ducks have waterproof feathers and webbed feet.
Bears prey on the fish, Ducks eat the small fish, the egg laying season for the fish (the bear is hibernating).
Adaptations
-Ducks (water proof feathers, webbed feet)
-Bass (can survive in harsh temperatures)
-Bear (sharp teeth and claws, hibernation, curved claws for catching fish)
-Crane (long legs to keep its feathers out of the water
Vocabulary
Biome- a large region characterized by a specific type of climate
Adapt- a change that helps an organism alive
Variation- a difference between organisms of any species caused by genotypic or phenotypic vaiation
Foodchain
Sun- algae- small fish- big fish- bear
Sun- algae- fish- crane
Sun- grass, small fish, small insects- ducks
Sun- algae ,grass -insects -frog -snakes -birds -birds of prey
Freshwater biome
The freshwater biome is mostly aquatic, but there are a few exceptions to that (bears and swans). The weather is semi cold and it rains often, many organisms depend on each other, Ex- The bear depends on the fish, and the plants depend on the sun.
Food Web and Pyramids
Exotic Animal
I added a seal to the food web, the seal is eaten by the bear.
The seal will probably eat the bears food and the bear will have to eat the seal. The seal will eat the fish until they're almost endangered (they don't have any defenses against it).
Normal
This is the normal food web. Nothing is special about this food web. The bear is the highest predator o the food web, he algae is the main producer.
Without bear
I got rid of the bear. Now the biggest predators are the bird and snake. Without the bear, the snake and bird will strive having not too many predators.
Freshwater Food Pyramid
The producers are eaten by the primary consumers, then the secondary consumers, then tertiary consumers, so on so forth. The big fish are eaten by birds of prey such as the hawk or osprey.
