Science and the novel "Tangerine" (Extra Credit)

Science and the novel Tangerine are related (more specifically ecology and Tangerine)! There are plants/trees and other things from Tangerine that are part of ecology. Ecology is the branch of biology dealing with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms. In Tangerine, there are some good relationships and some bad relationships between characters. As you should already know, humans are animals, more specifically, we are primates. This means that working together is a good relationship and, fighting or calling someone else is a bad relationship.

In Tangerine, there are tangerine groves. These groves are obviously full of tangerines. Tangerine trees are trees which means that they are producers. Producers make their own food while the characters in stories and other humans and animals/creatures need to eat parts of other organisms in order to survive.
