deforestation
They are cold-blooded animals. They have scales. Lizards and crocodiles are examples of these.
reptiles

herbivores
species that have completely died out and no longer live anywhere on Earth
Extinct
It's the process by which plants produce oxygen.
photosynthesis
to take, seize, or catch by force
capture
cold-blooded vertebrates that live a "double life," spending their larval stage in water with gills and maturing into terrestrial or semi-aquatic adults with lungs. Major groups include frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians
Amphibians
These types of animals don't have a spinal column.
invertebrates
a community where living things (plants, animals, microbes) interact with each other and their non-living environment (sunlight, air, water, soil)
Ecosystem
Humans breath oxygene and exhale __________
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
when harmful materials, waste, or chemicals dirty the air, water, and land, making the planet unhealthy for people, animals, and plants
pollution
