A. Introduction
This lesson is prepared for you. This will help you learn and understand on how
living things and non-living things interact with each other in a Tropical
Rainforest Ecosystem.

How will you describe this ecosystem? How do living and non-living
things interact in this ecosystem?
 What is It
The Ecosystem is an environment where both living and non-
living things 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
(are) please add 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, 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.

The Layers of Rain Forest

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

Producer Primary Consumer Secondary Consumer Tertiary Consumer

Decomposer

FOOD WEB

There are different organisms living in this ecosystem which interact

with each other. There are interactions that exist among the organisms in
the tropical rainforests.
 Mutualism In mutualism both organisms

benefit in the relationship for

example, a bee or butterfly suck

nectar from a flower and the

flower reproduces
Competition 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 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.
Commensalism 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.

C. Engagement What’s more?

Directions: Read carefully and answer the following items.

(Group Activity)
 What are the interactions that exist among living things and non-
living things in the tropical rainforest?
 Why interaction is important in a tropical rainforest?
 What will happen if producers will decrease in a rainforest
ecosystem?
 Are the interactions among living things and non-living things
important? Why?
 List some activities or program that can protect and conserve in the
ecosystem of the rain forest.

Remember!

Check Your Understanding

Answer the following questions and write is on your Journal Notebook.
1. How should organisms interact in a rain forest? Give one example and
explain your answer.

2. How can you help protect and conserve the living and non-living things in
tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and mangrove swamps?
3. What would happen if there is imbalance in the ecosystem?

V. REFLECTION The learners, in their notebook, journal or portfolio will write their personal insights
about the lesson using the prompts below.
