Part E (Identify the apex predator/s)
In the movie ‘Finding Nemo’, the creators payed close attention to detail regarding how the food webs are formed in ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef. At the top of the food web are the apex predators: the predators that aren’t prey to any other organism. These animals in the foo web that I have created are the Anglerfish, Great White Shark, and Barracuda. In reality, there are other animals that would probably eat these animals, but in my food web, they are the apex predators.
Question Three
Part A (Describe the natural ecosystem that Finding Nemo is set in, eg where it is found, what it is called, what it looks like)
Finding Nemo is set in the Great Barrier Reef, located on the Eastern Coast of Australia. …show more content…
Part C (Identify several biotic factors and describe how they affect Nemo and Marlin's ability to survive)
Biotic factors that impact Marlin and Nemo’s survival are: Coral (A good hiding place from predators), Anemone (A clown fishes’ home), plants (like seaweed which produce food), predators (such as barracuda, pelican, seagull, crabs, sharks, which all are threats to a clown fishes' life), and bacteria.
Part D (Describe an important symbiotic relationship shown at the start of Finding Nemo. Identify which type of symbiosis it is, and which organisms are affected and how)
An important relationship at the beginning of the movie is the relationship between the anemone and the clownfish, which is classified as mutualism. This is because both the anemone and the clownfish benefit from their relationship, because the anemone is protected by any anemone-eating fish and the clownfish is protected from any predators in the anemone’s stinging …show more content…
Ray is singing about this, but it shows how much attention to detail they had whilst writing and creating it. In Mr. Ray’s little tune, he is telling the students about photosynthesis: the process of organisms producing their own energy from the sun using the chemical chlorophyll. Photosynthesis is not to be confused with chemosynthesis, which is the conversion of molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter as a source of energy. This means that the organism (such as giant tube worms or epsilon proteobacteria) does not need sunlight to produce their own energy.
Part B (How do consumers get their energy? What do they need this energy to do? What happens to the amount of energy as it flows through a food web?)
Producers create their energy because of photosynthesis; the chemical reaction between the sun and the chlorophyll which makes the leaves green. So how do consumers create energy? Consumers do not create their energy, but the energy is transferred from the organism that they eat. But through every consumer of the food chain, only 10% of the energy is transferred because each organism uses some of the energy to live and survive. On the food web, the energy would transfer until around the 6th order consumer, and then there would be no energy left. Therefore, consumers gain their energy from other organisms.
