Transfer of Energy in a Food Chain
Bananas - insects - lemurs- civets
10% of energy from the bananas will get passed on to the insects, 10% of energy in the insects gets passed on to the lemurs and 10% of energy from the lemurs gets passed on to the civets.
The producer (orchid) takes in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen, while the consumer (mongoose) takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide. Consumers like the ring-tailed lemur (herbivore) and the indri lemur (omnivore) eat the producers, whereas the narrow-striped mongoose (carnivore) eats other consumers. Decomposers like the hissing cockroach break down the dead or dying plants or animals to give nutrients to the soil.
Humans have cut down 90% of rainforest in Madagascar for cattle pastures and the rare trees that the Madagascar Rainforest has.

There are a lot of interactions between abiotic and biotic elements in the Madagascar rainforest. Some examples are:
-plants take energy from sunlight to help them grow
-climate is hot and humid, if temperature was cold not as many plants would be able to survive
