Each member of your group will need to write a short summary about your project. It should include the following:

An introduction: An introduction to your project. This should be precise and to the point of what you researched.
A description of the biome you chose: Describe in detail the biome you chose. Describe what regions are included in this biome and what the climate and ecosystem is like.
Description of your unique or extinct organism: Describe the organism you chose. Break it all the way down to the cell type and work your way to the key features of the organism. Explain what it usually eats and what niche they occupy within the biome including it relationships and connections to other organisms within the biome.
Classification of each organism: This is where you tell me what domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species the organism belongs to. Most of this information is found on Wikipedia. Do not include any sub-classifications. For ex: “subspecies” is something that I do not want there.
the organism is the boa and the biome is the tropical rainforest

Project Summary: The Boa in the Tropical Rainforest

Introduction:
Our project investigates the intricate relationships within the tropical rainforest biome, focusing specifically on the boa constrictor (Boa constrictor) as a representative organism. We explore the climate, ecosystem dynamics, and the ecological niche of this fascinating snake.

Description of the Biome:
The tropical rainforest biome is characterized by high biodiversity and dense vegetation, primarily found near the equator. Regions include parts of South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America. The climate is typically warm and humid, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F) and annual rainfall exceeding 2000 mm (78 inches). The ecosystem comprises multiple layers, including the canopy, understory, and forest floor, hosting diverse flora and fauna.

Description of the Unique Organism:
The boa constrictor is a non-venomous snake consisting of eukaryotic cells that exhibit multicellularity, contributing to its complex physiological structures. Boa constrictors typically inhabit the rainforest canopy and terrestrial environments where they exhibit excellent climbing abilities. They are carnivorous, primarily preying on small mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles. As a predator, the boa plays a crucial role in controlling prey populations and maintaining a balanced ecosystem. Its relationships with other organisms include predation on smaller species and competition with other snakes.

Classification of the Organism:

  • Domain: Eukarya
  • Kingdom: Animalia
  • Phylum: Chordata
  • Class: Reptilia
  • Order: Squamata
  • Family: Boidae
  • Genus: Boa
  • Species: Boa constrictor
