3.1.1. Why does life thrive in the tropical rainforest? The tropical rainforest is very rich in water and food thus life thrives. We all know that food and water are the things that animals need the most for their survival. It also has a warm temperature due to the constant energy that the sun provides. The plants need the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to be completed and use it to derived energy. And the plants serve as the food for some animals and these animals serve as the food

Introduction: The Trichoptera‚ or caddisflies‚ are an ecologically diverse order of insects. The adults resemble small moths and are terrestrial‚ while their larvae are aquatic and spin silk (Bongard 2004). It is due to their diverse designs in the secretion of silk threads that they are able to expand their ecological niches. The silk threads of the larvae are used to create shelters‚ nets‚ and cases- adopting an evolutionary system to exploit a wide range of resources (Vaughn 1985). There are about

HISTORY AND CLASSIFICATION OF BIRDS The problems of classification of birds Has gained the attention of ornithologist and many systems have been proposed in order to establish their lineage until the beginning of the 19th century. The problem was solved in a rather over simplified way by using only significant characters especially external life forms and way of life and diet. Thus these birds whose toes are joined by welds where grouped in the natatoes. Those with long legs in the gralatories‚

My project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as
