non-living things.

The Ecosystem is an environment where both living and non-living things
B. Explore exist and interact with one another. This interaction enables the survival of
living things and affects non-living things. Example of ecosystem is the
tropical rainforests. Living things that can be found here composed of plants
and animals. Non-living things include soil, air, humidity, water and sunlight.
Rainforest has different layers namely emergent, canopy, understory and
forest floor. Emergent refers to trees that are 130 to 180 feet tall. Canopy,
C. Explain on the other hand, has tall slender trees from a dense platform of vegetation
with 60 to 129 feet of the ground.
The understory is about 59 feet and below and consists of trunks of
canopy, shrubs, trees and small plants. The forest floor is home to animals
like jaguars, tigers and cassowaries which thrive in a deep shade part of the
forest where plant life is thin. This is because only a small percent of
sunlight gets through the thick canopy and understory and reaches the
forest floor. Organisms like fungi, insects, worms and litter from taller trees
that fall on the forest floor can be found here.
Layers of the Rainforest
Producers provide food for the consumers which include herbivores-plant
eating animals and carnivores-flesh eating animals. Herbivores provide food
to the carnivores. Producers include trees, shrubs and other plant life in the
forest. Feeding relationships like food chain and food web occur among
species in the forest ecosystem. Food chain starts with producer, a series of
consumers and decomposers. Food web results from the interconnected
food chains.
Food Chain
Food Web
There are different organisms living in this ecosystem which interact with
each other. There are interactions that exist among the tropical rainforest.
Commensalism is an interaction where organisms live together without
harming one another for example orchids is attached to the trunk of a tree
without harming it.
In mutualism both organisms benefit in the relationship for example, a bee
or butterfly suck nectar from a flower and the flower reproduces.
Competition is an interaction wherein organisms compete for survival. For
example, grass, shrubs, flowers, and trees grow together in one area where
they compete for source of food, sunlight, soil nutrients and other things
needed for their survival.
Predation is a kind of interaction in which one organism kills smaller
organisms for food. An example of this is when a snake eats a rat for food.
Predator usually organisms which are stronger, bigger and fiercer compared
to prey
D. Elaborate Directions: Read carefully and answer the following items.
1. What are the interactions that exist among living things and non-living
things in the tropical rainforest?
2. Discuss interaction between plants and sunlight in a tropical rainforest
ecosystem.
3. What will happen if producers will decrease in a rainforest ecosystem?
4. Are the interactions among living things and non-living things important?
Why?
Why is it important to keep the air clean in the tropical rainforest?
E. Generalization Why are tropical rainforests considered crucial for global biodiversity?
Directions: Complete the paragraph below. Choose your answer from the
