Activity 1. Researching Everglades Food WebsEach organism has a role in an ecosystem. Producers transform energy from the sun into sugars that they can use to build their bodies or store to use later. Consumers can’t make their own energy. They eat producers or other consumers to get their energy. Decomposers break down dead organisms and waste materials and return nutrients to the ecosystem.1. What are some producers, consumers, and decomposers that live in the Florida Everglades? Use the Internet or library to make a list of the organisms that are found there. For the consumers, also make a note of what each consumer eats.

nanotechnology is a powerful tool in biomaterials research as it creates numerous possibilities for the engineering of functional molecules. nano-bio refers to projected ability to incorporate biomimicry into various materials at nanoscale.  

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
