Water purification and pollination.

Poeple depend on ecosystems for many products and services.

Fruits, vegetables, seeds, air purification.
 The first main idea explains that pollination is experiencing a serious
problem because of changes in the ecosystems. The second main idea
is about the effects of losing pollinators for humans.

Yes, because they explain more about the topic of each paragraph.

When they go to another flower,

the pollen comes off their bodies. As a result of this pollination, there is new fruit.
The agouti opens the fruit to eat the nuts inside and then it puts nuts in the ground

It's like a cycle. When a part of the web is in

danger, it affects our lives as we're connected to
the ecosystems. Other ways we're connected to
the rain forest is by fruits and herbal medicines.
Cutting down the trees; trees used for paper
and building materials. Also, the land is used
for building farms and farm animals. Other
reasons can be that some tourists damage the
rain forest, many people throw rubbish,
pollution, etc.
The first sentence because the professor says
that destroying the rain forest has serious
effects on living things across our planet. From
this, we can infer that she's worried about the
rain forest and that it is necessary to protect it.
I agree with the first statement too as I've
always believed that Earth has to be the
most important thing in every person's
life; it's our home and we must protect it.

Middle basin: agricultural activity, avalanches because of rains,
organic material, metals, microbiological pollution.
Lower basin: drainage, rubbish, chemicals.
