Rainforest structure

What are the four main layers of the rainforest?

• Upper layer, Middle layer, Lower layer, Soil layer

• High layer, Mid layer, Low layer, Earth layer

• Emergent layer, Canopy layer, Understory layer, Forest floor

• Top layer, Middle layer, Bottom layer, Ground layer

Which layer of the rainforest receives the most sunlight?

• Canopy layer

• Understory layer

• Forest floor

• Emergent layer

Name one animal that lives in the canopy layer of the rainforest.

• Monkey

• Penguin

• Polar bear

• Elephant

What is the main characteristic of the understory layer of the rainforest?

• Lack of biodiversity and minimal plant growth

• Low light levels and dense vegetation

• Extreme temperatures and dry conditions

• High light levels and sparse vegetation

Name one plant species that can be found in the understory layer.

• Ferns

• Sunflowers

• Pine trees

• Cacti

What type of animals are commonly found on the forest floor?

• Domesticated animals and livestock

• Large birds and monkeys

• Fish and crustaceans

• Small mammals, insects, reptiles, and amphibians

How do plants on the forest floor adapt to low light conditions?

• No adaptation needed, they thrive in low light

• Larger leaves and ability to photosynthesize with minimal light

• They migrate to areas with more light

• Smaller leaves and inability to photosynthesize

What is the emergent layer of the rainforest?

• The emergent layer is the bottom layer of the rainforest.

• The emergent layer is the middle layer of the rainforest.

• The emergent layer is the top layer of the rainforest.

• The emergent layer is the underground layer of the rainforest.

Name one species of bird that can be found in the emergent layer.

• Penguin

• Ostrich

• Pigeon

• Harpy eagle

What is the significance of the emergent layer in the rainforest ecosystem?

• It is only important for human observation

• It has no significance in the rainforest ecosystem

• It provides habitat for a variety of animals and plants.

• It is a barrier that prevents sunlight from reaching the lower layers
