Rainforest
Abiotic Factors (Environment)
Water, sunlight, climate, weather and precipitation soils, rain\water.
Biotic Factors (Living things)
It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants, insects for example- trees, animals, birds, plants, flowers, and etc for example-
Amphibians: poison dart frog, and red-eyed tree frog
Arthropods: blue morpho butterfly, leafcutter ant, and queen alexandra's birdwing butterfly
Birds: great hornbill, harpy eagle, hoatzin, parrot, resplendent quetzal, southern cassowary, and toucan.
Mammals: bengal tiger, capybara, common chimpanzee, gorilla, jaguar, lar gibbon, lemur, okapi, orangutan, siamang, and spider monkey.
Reptiles: anaconda, black caiman, boa constrictor, gaboon viper, and reticulated python.
Aquatics: manatee, and piranha.

Adaptations
Rainforest has many trees, a good adaptation that allows animals to be able to climb and forage for food in trees Monkeys and sloths really good at that.
The soil is lacking in nutrition you must get it from another source like a venus fly trap. Another way is many of them have developed some sort of camouflaging mechanism Chameleons can change colors to help them blend in. Tigers stripes help it blend into the shadows while Poison Dart Frogs have many flashy greens, blues and yellows to help warn off predators but to also stay hidden amongst the leaves, water, and sun spots. Looper caterpillars look like part of the green plant that they attach themselves to. this is a great way to hide from predators.

Symbiotic Relationships
1. Mutualism: Ants protect the fungi from pests and mold and also keep their lavae in fungi while protects it and feeds it same time.
2. Parasitism: Strangler fig starts out life growing on a branch of a tree. And grows both downwards towards the ground and upwards to sky, but winding around tree. But strangelr fig will kills tree by stealing sunlight and root space after enveloping it.
3. Commenalism: Bromeliads, get enough light, grow on high branches of trees. This don't do any damage to that tree itself, but it allows brmeliad to survive.

Tropical Ocean
Abiotic Factors (Environment)
Salt, water, sand, rocks, and sunlight.
Biotic Factors (Living things)
Plants, animals, and fishes and other where live in underwater for example-
Fishes: Blue Marlin, Clown Anemonefish, Great Barracuda, Porcupinefish, Skipjack Tuna, Smooth Hammerhead, and Stonefish.
Birds: Brown Booby.
Reptiles: Green Turtle, and Hawksbill.
Mammals: Dugong, and Finless Porpoise.
Invertebrates: Cnidarians, Crustaceans, Echinoderms, Mollusks, and Sponges.

Limiting Factors
Temperature, current direction, velocity, and run-off from land.
Adaptations
Fish and other organisms that live underwater can take their oxygen from the water, either through their gills or their skin.
Marine mammals need come to water surface to breathe, which is why deep-diving whales have blowholes on top of their heads, so they can surface to breathe while keeping most of their body underwater.
Adapting to water pressure. Dealing with wind, waves and changing temperatures. Getting enough light

Symbiotic Relationships
Wrasse fish feed on the parasites found on the black sea bass's body.
Remoras fish attach themselves to a shark's body. They then travel with the shark and feed on the leftover food scraps from the shark's meals.
The clownfish lives within the tentacles of the sea anemone. This provides protection to the clownfish and the clownfish also feeds on the food scraps of the sea anemone.
