• BASIC DESCRIPTION: This pitch is about Tropical Rain forest  This biome is  found in areas high rainfall and lower latitudes and has tall trees. Rain forests are found between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and receive between 68”- 78”inches (80- 400cm) of rainfall a year. The forest stays frost-free and warm throughout the year, with the mean temperature being between 70 degrees and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

ENERGY FLOW DESCRIPTION:  The Sun is the main source on the earth. Producers use sun and water to make their own food. Primary Consumer depends on the Producer. Secondary Consumer depends on the primary consumer. Tertiary Consumer depends on the secondary consumer. Decomposer kills the producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer. 

Abiotic factors:  Abiotic factors in the tropical rainforest. 

1. Sunlight: The whole process of photosynthesis is when the light energy is converted into chemical energy without sunlight there won't be chemical reaction where light energy is converted into chemical energy. This limits plants growth and the production of glucose. Sunlight does not only affect the plants  but, also affects the animals. Animals consume plants so, initially plants must absorb the sunlight to perform the photosynthesis. An another way that sunlight affects animals that when the sunlight directly falls on the animal skin and provides vitamin D for strong bone growth. 
2. Climate: Climate has great affect on the photosynthesis and cellular respiration high temperature helps the planet growth because, photosynthesis is occurring at a faster rate when their are low temperatures photosynthesis may occur in a slower rate or may not even occur because, water cannot even absorb in the plant roots also, when their is low temperatures water may change state liquid to solid and this damages the cell wall in the plants. Climate also affects animals because, certain animals may adapt in warmer climate and colder climate due to the climate changes condition for survival. 
3. Precipitation: Precipitation in extremely important for the photosynthesis because, photosynthesis requires water from precipitation, carbon dioxide and sunlight. precipitation also affects animals because, when their is abundant of precipitation the run off goes to the rivers and lakes. So, this provides the animals to consume.

Biotic factors: Biotic factors in the tropical rainforest.

1. Monkey: Monkeys eat fruits like mango or bananas and another types of tropical fruits but, some kinds eat meat too. 
2. Birds: The birds in the tropical rainforest they eat fruits and seeds from the trees.
3. Flowers: Flowers that are found in the tropical rainforest of the world are adapted to moist, humid climates with temperatures usually above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The tropical rainforest is an exciting ecosystem in itself, filled with exotic flowers that house their own supply of water, and carnivorous plants that can reach up to 30 feet in height. 

Cycling of Nutrients:                                                        

The main source of energy for the ecosystem is the sun. The primary consumers eat the producers for the source of energy and secondary consumers eat the primary consumers for the same source of energy. Imagine, producers completely been removed from the ecosystem. What will happen will the secondary consumers have food to eat? No, because, of the whole land source of energy is removed from the ecosystem. The primary consumers will not have food to survive and this energy cannot be passed by the secondary consumers. Eventually, primary consumers will die and secondary consumers will die because, secondary consumers will not have primary consumers to feed on. If producers are completely removed and how will that affect nutrient cycle. Nutrient cycle shows how nutrients transferred from the physical environment to the living or organisms. Their are three ways which this happens. One way is precipitation when precipitation falls on trees it gives off five nutrients. These fie nutrients are calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen. The second way which nutrients reach the soil is to litter fall. When plants litter fall their are leaves, bark and tacks fall to the forest floor. The Third is to through-fall when their is abundant of precipitation all that precipitation cannot be absorb by the leaves some of the rain falls to the forest floor. 

`If trees were destroyed on earth it would be a disaster. Whole ecosystems would collapse and many, many species of animals would disappear for lack of food, shelter, cover, nest sites and a host of other critical elements to their existence. Certainly other plants would fill in behind the trees, but if the trees go, life we know it will disappear and global warming is going change into global freezing.

Tropical rainforests are biologically dense ecosystems with countless plants and animals that thrive together in a delicate cycle. They are important resources for medicines, nutrients and a variety of other purposes. Although located across the globe on several continents  tropical rainforests are considered endangered because of pressures from agriculture, climate changes and other forces.

This biome has many plants that have medicinal value. The Lepidus Yemenite contains amigo acids, carbohydrates and vitamin B and E. It is civilized mental clarity and released conic vertexsyndorme. The vixsaorlana is a shrub tree that's has evergreen leaves medicinal. It uses for vixsaorlana is heels minor burns and blisters and reduces skin diseases.  Some disadvantages in the tropical rainforest is tropical diseases one common disease is malaria and another two bacterial diseases that are created in the tropical rainforest are Chagall, Ebola.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, when combining the pros and cons of the tropical rainforest their are more benefits than disadvantages because, of these medicinal value plants humans consume medicines originated from these tropical rainforests. So, it is very important that we save and consume the rainforest.
