Habitat and Matter and Energy Description. In a typed document,
complete the following:
a) Describe in detail the habitat of your organism. Include at
least 4 biotic and 4 abiotic resources found in the habitat.
Each resource must be clearly identified as biotic or abiotic. .
Be as specific as possible. If you mention trees, what species?
How much sunlight does the area receive? **NOTE: you must
research the actual abiotic and biotic factors that exist in
your organism’s true habitat. Its current zoo habitat may
not be the exact habitat it would have in the wild.**
b) Explain which role your organism plays in the energy pyramid.
Is your organism a producer, consumer (Primary? Secondary?
Tertiary?), or decomposer? Explain the role it plays in the food
web of its habitat.
c) Describe how your organism fits into the carbon and nitrogen
cycles of its ecosystem. In your description, you must discuss
the sources from which your organism gets carbon and
nitrogen, and how the carbon and nitrogen stored in your
organism is released back into the ecosystem.
