This bug that I chose to observe for 2-3 minutes interacted with the four spheres in different ways. It interacted with the Biosphere in the way that it is a living thing that interacts with other living things such as it eats living things such as leaves, grass and flowers. It interacts with the Hydrosphere by drinking rainwater from the sky and clouds. It interacts with the atmosphere by breathing the air produced by plants, grass, etc. It interacted with the Geosphere by consuming wood, and the litter of old leaves and grass. 

Consumer: 

The bird’s niche within the forest is to compete for food and a comfortable habitat. The spider’s niche within the forest is to control insect population. The bug’s niche within the forest is too  

Producer: 

The grass’ niche is to help produce “bridges” between forests and land and to help make a large amount of the oxygen needed in the world for animals, plants etc. The buttercup’s niche is to reproduce and produce pollen. 

Decomposer: 

The fungus’ niche is to help break down and decompose the dying, broken or falling organisms throughout the rest of the forest.  

Which of the organisms go through photosynthesis?  

The organisms that we photographed that go through photosynthesis are the buttercup and the grass. 

Which organisms release energy through cellular respiration? 

An example of one of the organisms that go through cellular respiration is the fungus. 

How might a food web that includes a consumer that is a threatened species (in low numbers) be affected if the consumers population continues to decline?

The food web would be affected because the consumers that use it as food would not have food for themselves. The number of produces would continue to decline as the consumers declined as well.  The other species in the food web would continue to perish as the consumers died as well.
