    0

    As a team, you will write a paper in Microsoft Word outlining the following components. Please remember to format your paper according to APA guidelines.

     

    Select an ecosystem, such as a temperate forest, desert biome, or the Everglades.

     

    Determine the interdependency of life in your ecosystem by examining its organisms.

     

    Create a diagram in which you illustrate the energy flow among organisms of a food chain in a particular ecosystem. See Ch. 20 of the textbook for details and examples.

     

    Include the following in your diagram: 

    • List the organisms that can be found in your ecosystem. 
    • Identify the structure and function of the main organs in at least two organisms, and indicate why they are suited for that environment. 
    • Label major organisms that live in your selected ecosystem: P for producers, C for consumers, and D for decomposers. 
    • Name the types of consumers in your ecosystem. 
    • List the food chains associated with your ecosystem. Address the following items: 
      • Name of the plant or animal
      • What it eats
      • What eats it
      • How it adapts to the ecosystem 
    • Describe the ecosystem’s population growth and regulation through community interactions. 
    • Evaluate potential hazards caused by humans that might affect your ecosystem’s stability, such as environmental pollution. 

    Include labels and associated details in the diagram.
