5Life in the Ecosystems .Few plant species because the surface soil is rocky and the ground is flat.. Life is hard because since the ground is flat water has a hard time getting from the source to the plants so the herbivores have a hard time finding plants for food.

How living things meet their needsLiving things meet their needs by traveling.They also meet their needs by having their mate get the food depending on witch animal they are. polar bears eat fish and seals.Fish eat plankton and smaller fish.
