**__Role of Decomposer:__**
====Decomposer is a type of organisms that break down dead. Like worms, molds, fungus, bacteria, millipedes, dung flies, jungle crow, vultures, hyenas and coyote. Their role is to eat animals or humans that is dead. Decomposer is everywhere around us in our body. The decomposer will be waiting for us to get old so that they can feed on us waiting for us to die. The decomposer is a very importance thing to the life cycle. If there is no decomposer there will be many dead bodies of animals.==== ========

__**Ecosystem**__ **- (Notes)**

 * ====**Habitat** is a place where an organism lives and that provides the things the organism needs====
 * ====**Species** is a group of similar organisms that can mate with one another to produce a baby elephant or tiger.====
 * ====**Population** is the members of one species in a particular area====
 * ====**Community** is the different populations that live together in an area====
 * ====**Ecosystem** is a living and a non-living things that interact to form a particular area.====

__**What is habitat difference between habitat and ecosystem?**__
====The difference between habitat and ecosystem is that, habitat is more related to the places where people or animals lives in.(Example: Grassy Plains and Ocean) And ecosystem is when two living thing and non-living thing combine together to form a environment of where animals lives in and same a people.====

__**Descriptions of Ecosystem:**__
====Ecosystems is a Ecological Systems, that are being made up of living and non-living things. It is where different populations in a habitat interacts with one another and with the physical environment around them. Every different environment has a different ecosystem. For example if I put penguins in a very hot place like dessert the penguins will end up dying in the dessert. If we put the penguins into the right place like Antarctic it will just be the thing for he penguin. It is because it is not too cold for them and not too hot.====

__**African Lion's Habitat :**__
====African lions is currently range in east, south and central of Africa, in grassy plains, savannas, open woodlands and scrub country. In the wild, lions eat wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, gazelles, wart hogs and other animals that may be in its area. The lions likes to come out at night so that he can hunt many animals without the others animals knowing it. The other reason it that hunting at the day is too hot for them to hunt the animals down. The size of the normal males lions and females lions is about three and half to four feet tall. The African lions are about two to eight feet long, with an additional two to three feet of tail. Adult male lions mostly to be weigh between 300 and 500 pounds, and female weigh is between 250 and 300 pounds.==== ==== ====

**My Food Web:**
======== ====I think my poster turned out quite well, although I made four arrow the wrong way around where it says that the antelope eats the lion, and with the all animals that is on the poster, which is totally wrong. The reason I didn't wanted to make a new poster and that is because the date line is at the end of Tuesday and the day that I hand my poster in is at Tuesday, so I don't have time for making a new poster. I think that next time I should really think about what am I doing than do the real thing.====

**Non-Living Conditions (For Lions) :**

 * ====Non Living Conditions==== || ====Adaptations==== ||
 * < ====Grassy Plains==== || ====Search for water==== ||
 * < ====Rains Fall==== ||< ====Hiding place==== ||
 * < ====Hot Days==== || ====Place to block the heat ( The hottest day in Africa is 57.8°C (136°F) )==== ||
 * < ====Cold Days==== || ====Thick fur and lots of fats ( The coldest day in Africa is - 24)==== ||

Lion's Symbiosis Relationship:
====My male lion's symbiotic relationship with scavengers is mutualism and that is because they both benefit. Example: When the lions kill another animals the lions get to get and when the scavengers saw it they will also eat it so it is a mutualism.====

Describe the features of your animal that identify it as a species. If possible, describe variations between members of your species, for example polar and brown bear.
__**My lion features:**__ A lion's body temperature is from 38.05 to 39.16 degrees. There is magnificent roar to the lion and there is only four cats can roar: The lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar. These four cats have been assigned to the genus //Panthera// because they can roar. Of these cats, the lion roars the most. It is beleived the roar serves to alert other lions of an individual's presence. It is said that a lion's roar can be heard 5 miles (8 km) away. A lion's eyes do not glow in the dark, but they have a special coating that will help them reflect even moonlight. The coating can increase the lion's visual acuity in very low light by ensuring. Their eyes are effective even by starlight. A white circle just below the eyes helps reflect light into the eyes to further improve night vision.

Variation in a characteristic that is a result of genetic inheritance from the parents is called inherited variation.
==== Children usually look a little like their father, and a little like their mother, but they will not be identical to either of their parents. This is because they get half of their inherited features from each parent. ====

Here are some examples of inherited variation in humans:

 * eye color
 * hair color
 * skin color
 * lobed or lobeless ears.

__Describe how variations are **inherited** or caused by **environment:**__
I think that it is because of our genes. Our genes decide what do we do and what we behave. So that inherited us by our genes. For an example- >
 * A person might grow very pretty but his has a bad diet and she is short.
 * Plants may have the potential for strong growth, but if they do not receive sufficient mineral resources from the soil, they may hardly grow at all

c) types of vertebrates: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish or invertebrates: jellyfish, starfish, roundworms, segmented worms, molluscs and arthropod.
