Transcript: Rain forest Ecology Poster Rubric Symbiotic Relationship Symbiotic relationship exists between ants and caterpillars. Certain caterpillar species produce sweet chemicals from "dew patches" on their backs, upon which a certain ant species will feed. Many symbiotic relationships in the rainforest are broad, across several species, such as when insects pollinate plants and get pollen or nectar as food in return and Many animals in the rain forest have a relationship showing commensalism with trees and plants throughout the forests. 1 Symbiotic relationship The food web in rain forest. The relationship food web in rain forest has producers, primary and secondary consumer . The Producers - the trees, shrubs, bromeliads and other plants. The Primary Consumers – the macaws, monkeys, agouti, tapir, butterflies, sloths, toucans. The Secondary Consumers – the jaguar and boa constrictor. Food web labels-----> 2 Food web Biomass pyramid A biomass pyramid is a diagram that compares the biomass of different trophic levels within an ecosystem. It shows the mass of producers that are needed to support primary consumers, the mass of primary consumers required to support secondary consumers, and so on. Notice that each trophic level has a smaller biomass than the one below it. 3 Biomass Pyramid Energy pyramid energy pyramid is a diagram that compares the energy used by producers, primary consumers, and other trophic levels. In other words, an energy pyramid shows how much energy is available at each trophic level. Energy is lost at each trophic level of a food chain. 4 Energy pyramid content A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth's oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years.which can be snake ant etc. that mostly live in rain forest. 5 Content
