FOOD CHAIN

A food chain is a linear sequence of links in a food web starting from a trophic species that eats no other species in the web and ends at a trophic species that is eaten by no other species in the web.
eg , if a bird feeds on a particular type of worm , the worm feeds on a special plant , and if the plant is extinct , the population of the worm will decrease , which will cause the population of bird to decrease and will also affect the other animals in the food chain.

Part A Reflection ;D

Darren:I think that Jurong Lake Park is a very nice place to visit.There are facilities for the park users to use.During our trip there,there are several human activities like jogging,cycling,Fishing and the construction work.The people littering should be stopped and the bottles lying around should be recycled into either the recycle bin or the rubbish bin.Less construction work should be conducted at it will pollute the water and eventually kill all the fishes in the River.Although we found a lot of plant species,they were very less animal seen.I think deforestation should be prevented as it will destroy animal habitat and soon,there will not be anymore animals at Jurong Lake Park.

Jiawei:
I think that if the pollution of the park continues , more and more organisms will be gone , example ;squirrels .
I really hope that the government will stop building things near the park and let the animals have a peaceful life , so that human can start to enjoy the scenery there . I also hope that human activites can reduce in future , SO LEND YOUR HELPING HAND AND STOP POLLUTION ! :)

impact of human activities

Pollution -> Disturbance to organisms -> Extinction to animals -> No more park reserve

CONCLUSION !

Do your part in saving JLP and the EARTH !
Stop littering in to land and seas , so animals will not mistake your litters as food for them , this will also prevent choking in them ! This small little step is a BIG step in saving earth !
Use the park wisely before all the nature resources are gone ! :(
MAKE SURE TO NOT DISTURB THE ANIMALS BY CATCHING THEM TOO ! THIS WILL HELP TO MAKE SURE NO EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS WILL OCCUR !
REMEMBER ! DO YOUR PART TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT!



Recycling bins are placed at the Jurong Lake Park for people to recycle litters instead of throwing them on the ground or into the rubbish bins. It is for people to conserve the resource on the earth. Throwing into the recycling bins is more encouraged.
