What is energy?

At first I thought that energy was electricity, but then I realized that electricity was only a type of energy. Then I tried to find the types of energy. I thought of electrical, elastic, mechanical, chemical, etc. Then I thought about a units of energy. One in particular is calories. Then I thought, when you ingest calories, what do you gain the ability to do? You gain the ability to do work. That is how I got the definition of energy, which is the ability to do work.

Wetlands

The wetlands is a very interesting place. It has a variety of producers, consumers, and decomposers. Wetlands, bogs, and marshes are all places where the water level is very close to the surface. The water here is the main source of nutrients for the producers, like plants, but for secondary consumers, like birds is bugs and insects, or maybe even the producers. But the tertiary consumers like crocodiles, they eat other consumers. But the decomposers are safe. They don’t eat their prey alive. They eat the flesh and meat of dead carcuses. Certain types of fungi take control over ants brains the eat them from the inside out.

 

Some ecosystems are located in Australia, Florida, The Bronx, New Rochelle, and Huntington. Wetlands are very unique because the wetlands have plants that thrive there that don’t even exist in other places. Also, some endangered species live in the wetlands. Did you know that there are wetlands in Florida. In Florida, it is very hot so I would have thought that if there was a wetland it would have evaporated.

 

I also created a food web to show how the food chains in the wetlands interconnect. Here it is!
