Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment. This is why the trees, birds, insects, and other organisms are different in the rainforest compared to the desert. These organisms have adapted to the specific conditions of their environment, such as the availability of water, temperature, and other factors.
