Figs and Monkeys Simulation Reflection

What Would Happen if One Species of Plant Disappeared ?

In the figs and monkeys simulation project it would be impossible for the eagles and monkeys to live without the figs. If the figs disappeared then the monkeys would have no food and become extinct. If the monkeys go extinct, then there will be no food for the eagles which will cause them to become extinct. Another example, lets say there are foxes, which eat rabbits, which eat grass. If the grass disappeared the there will be no more food for the rabbits and the rabbits will starve. When the rabbits starve they will become extinct which will cause starvation for the foxes because their food source depends on the rabbits. When the foxes starve they will become extinct. As you can see i any species of plant disappeared the food chain would collapse and all the animals connected to it ( which would be ALOT ) would become endangered or extinct. 

What Else Do Plants From The Rain forest Help Us With?

      Plants from the rain forest help us with many things such as providing oxygen for us to breathe. Thankfully, they help us do far more things than that. Providing oxygen is a very important thing but they also help us with other things such as providing the things we need to make medicine. Many medicines need certain plants to be made. For example,some of the people in Costa Rica use a plant called tirrokicha also known as aristolochia gigantea to treat snakebites. Also, lots of bananas are grown there and everyone knows why those are important... So we can eat them! As you can see, rain forest plants play a very important part in our lives. They certainly help us in many ways!
