predators in a desert or a jungle? Explain.
Review worksheets so far
Vocab quiz Friday – through energy terms
3/24 1ST PER. BEST ANSWER TO WU #5

A jungle has more predators because there’s
more vegetation for first level consumers to
ingest therefore it can sustain enough energy
for the predators to take in from the prey.
3/24 2ND PER. BEST ANSWER TO WU #5

There would be more predators in a jungle
because there are more producers, therefore
more trophic levels and finally more large
predators
