SHARKS
 Sharks
Most of sharks live in salt water, as they have to carry out a very complex chemical reaction to sustain their life with the absorption
of essential salts into their systems. it is the most diverse ecosystem repository of living things on the planet, as it supports nearly
half of earths current known species.
Sea water or Salt water have a salinity of 3.5%, it´s high on Oxygen, Hydrogen, Chloride, Sodium and Magnesium.

Pacific Sea -Name: Open Brain Coral

-Scientific Name: Trachyphyllia

Atlantic Sea Geoffroyi

-Habitat: all of the world´s oceans,

Mediterranean Sea predominantly in the Indian Ocean
and Red Sea, this plant can be found
in the clear shallow waters.

-Lifecycle: as they can revive through

asexual reproduction, their life span is
unknown

-Reproduction Type: Corals are

hermaphrodites, and reproduce themselves through sexual (releasing eggs and sperm at the same
time) and asexual (forming a small bud on the base of the mother colony, and when dead new
colony will arise) methods.

-Nutrition Type: through zooxanthellae, by capturing planktonic organisms and absorbing

dissolved organic matter.
-Name: Giant Plumose Anemone

-Scientific Name: Metridium farcimen

ó Metridium giganteum

-Habitat: It ranges from all the world´s

cold water oceans like the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts; they normally
attach themselves to the side of
docks, floats, rocks and other hard
surfaces to a depth of 300m.

-Lifecycle: Can grow to be centuries

old.

-Reproduction type: They reproduce sexually, releasing male and female sex
glands into the water where they fertilize; they can also reproduce by
asexuality, through laceration and fission.

-Nutrition type: this plant is a carnivore, using their tentacles to sting and
capture their prey, feeding off of plankton.
Artic fox
 Artic Fox

The artic fox lives in the tundra for the summer at the edge of the forest; tundra is a cold, treeless area, actually the coldests of the
biomies, it´s characterized to have very low temperatures, little to no precipitation and low biological diversity.

Iceland
-Name: Bearberry

Russia -Scientific Name: Arctostaphylos

Uva-Ursi
Alaska
-Habitat: It is well suited to live in the
sub-arctic zones and can be found
at this high latitudes all around the
globe, mostly in the tundra.

-Lifecycle: they bloom from may

to June and mature the fruit by august,
it then remains like this on the plant all through the winter.

-Reproduction type: asexual, after the second year of life the stems produce
adventitious, seeds come from the fruit and is spread by the animals and gravity.

-Nutrition type: Feeds itself from the nutrients found in the soil of the earth.
-Name: Diamond leaf willow

-Scientific Name: Salix

planifolia

-Habitat: artic zones al around

the globe specifically the
tundra.

-Lifecycle: has a rapid grow

rate during the spring and summer, blooming in the late spring, it has a
moderate lifespan of 5 to 6 years.

-Reproduction type: asexual, through the seeds that they carry when animals
eat them.

-Nutrition type: Feeds itself from the nutrients found in the soil of the earth.
 1.-What is the relationship between the two organisms in their ecosystem?
These two species are very particularly different, but also similar- they come from the same
kingdom, for example, and even if this is not a such impressive feat with how many plant species
there are, it is still important to note; these four kinds of plants also have the similarities of
reproductive systems, however slight, and the fact that different kinds of plants can have different
reproductive systems at all is very incredible. Two of them also live in the ocean, and even though
they are a very different ecosystems the similarities are still striking. The Plumose Anemone and
Open Brain Coral with the way they behave in the water; and the Bearberry and Diamond leaf
willow, which they both serve as food for the tundra.

2.-How important are the species selected in their environment?

The plants from the aquatic and earth both serve to hide some creatures, they have a main key in
the food chain, they all provide oxygen, food and shelter for the other creatures; they also serve
to pollinize the earth and to have it spread it all around for the same reasons above.
