Analysis of the Results:
1. What do the animals eat? Do they rely on the human food supply, or do
they have their own sources of food?
Animals could eat plants or meat based on their characteristics or what
they take. Animals can rely on human food supply especially pet
animals. On the contrary, animals cannot make their own food so they
must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers. There
are three groups of consumers. Animals that eat only plants are called
herbivores (or primary consumers). animals who eats meats are called
carnivores and animals who eat both plants and meats are omnivores.
2. Are there predators and prey in this community?
Yes, plants are the primary prey for herbivore animals since they are
producers in ecosystem. Cat, dogs, birds, lizards and such are preys
because they are consumers and cannot make their own foods.
3. Describe how the community members compete for resources.
Organisms compete for the resources they need to survive- air, water,
food, and space. In areas where these are sufficient, organisms live in
comfortable co-existence, and in areas where resources are abundant, the
ecosystem boasts high species richness (diversity).

Description Animal
Viviparity Among animals, viviparity is development of the embryo Mice, whales, shark
inside the body of the parent. Viviparity, retention and horse and etc.
growth of the fertilized egg within the maternal body until
the young animal, as a larva or newborn, is capable of
independent existence. The growing embryo derives
continuous nourishment from the mother, usually through a
placenta or similar structure.
Internal Internal fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm cell Reptiles, Birds,
fertilization during sexual reproduction inside the female body. Internal Mammals, Bryophy
fertilization, unlike its counterpart, external fertilization, and Tracheophytes
brings more control to the female with reproduction.
External External fertilization is a mode of reproduction in which a Fish, Amphibians, a
fertilization male organism's sperm fertilizes a female organism's egg most of the Algae,
outside of the female's body. It is contrasted with internal
fertilization, in which sperm are introduced via insemination
and then combine with an egg inside the body of a female
organism.
Oviparity Oviparity is defined as the oviposition of an embryo within Many amphibians,
a shelled egg requiring some period of embryonic birds, fish and repti
development outside of the female's reproductive tract. are oviparous and o

their eggs.
Ovoviviparity Ovoviviparity, ovovivipary, ovivipary, or aplacental Sharks, rays, snake
viviparity is a term used as a "bridging" form of fishes, and insects.
reproduction between egg-laying oviparous and live-bearing
viviparous reproduction. Ovoviviparous animals possess
embryos that develop inside eggs that remain in the mother's
body until they are ready to hatch.
II. ESSAY
There is a difference in the types of fertilization among animals because
of the female body structure. Depending on the variety of species, there are
differences in the uterus of a female animal. In the animal kingdom,
reproduction happens but it sticks into the environment, situation or the
circumstances of the female. For instance, the difference of the situation
between aquatic and terrestrial animals varies a lot in the reproduction. The
problem of getting the sperm to the egg is a biggest challenge especially in
aquatic places or for amphibian animals. The difference of this is that, sperm
has to swim through a liquid environment which is very easy in aquatic
habitats but essentially impossible for terrestrial ones, unless the sperm is
deposited internally along with some liquid produced by either parent. That
is why there is difference in fertilization because of the difference of the
structure of the body, the circumstances, the habitat and flow of the
ecosystem.
