Consumer

I learned about consumers, A consumer can't make its own food. It depends on producers to get food for them or it eats the producer. A consumer is a scavenger. One interesting fact is consumers usually get their food by eating other organisms. Another interesting fact Humans are consumers and so are most animals.

Habbitat

I learned in class about habitats, a habitat is where an organism lives. Each type of organism has a diffrent habitat. It provides everything you need to live. One interesting fact is Animals need the same thing to live so they live in the places that have them. Another interesting fact is Every organism has a unique habitat that provides for its needs. Organisms that live in the same area and share the resources form a community. There are a lot of diffrent habitats, but they all provide the varity things an organism needs.

Life on Jupiter?

While Nasa and the European space agency are looking for life on Mars. A determined core of scientist are lobbying for equal attention to a place they think can have life on it, Jupitors moon Europa. "Because of the well supported presence of water ice on Europa, Also the probability it has oceans. Europa can hold life on it," said Jere H. Lipps. Lipps took up the issue with 3 other scientist on sunday febuary 18 2007, at the annual meeting of American Association for the advancment of science in San Francisco. Lipps reviewed what they know about Europa and focased on the problems that needed to be solved before they search it for life. With years of experience studying Antartica Lipps knows where organisms can live on Europa. Lipps proposed 25 likely spots where organisms can live on Europa. He doesn't think life on the icy moon would be like ice on Earth. Lipps also noted the surface can be intense enough to kill an Earth like life. Lipps said we can have a spacecraft on Europa in 15 years we know where life can be. Now its up to Nasa engineers to determen when and how we get there.
