One such relationship connects parasitic fungi and their insect hosts. A type of parasitic fungus, call Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, disperses spores on the forest floor, but cannot successfully grow on the ground. The fungus requires specific conditions and must grow inside a specific ant species, called the host, to reproduce. The ants, various species of carpenter ant, make nests in the trees.  \nO. unilateralis feeds on and grows inside the insect host, and within a few days the fungus affects the insect’s brain. The insect exhibits unusual behaviors such as wandering away from the colony to where the light and humidity favor fungal growth. Just before dying the insect bites into and firmly attaches itself to a plant. The, the fungus slowly grows outward from the dead insect’s head, producing a pod of spores that eventually bursts open. The spores fall to the ground, restarting the life cycle of the fungus.  \nThought this relationship may sound gruesome, researchers note that these parasitic fungi may help maintain biodiversity in the tropical rain forest. Some parasitic fungi may be host-specific, meaning that a fungus species only infects a particular type of insect. Scientists have observed that if an insect population begins to grow, more fungal infections occur, and then insect population levels off again. This relationship may prevent an overpopulation of the habitat by any one insect species.  \nDeforestation, or clearing away trees, is occurring in tropical rain forests.  \nExplain how deforestation could disrupt the life cycle of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis in tropical rain forest. Include multiple pieces of evidence from the text to support your response.  \nType your response in the box. This task may require approximately 10 minutes to complete.  \nScience Narrative Response-Analyze the Prompt  \nUnderline the verb. Determine action to be completed.

Carpenter ants make their nests in tall trees in the tropical rain forest. O unilateralis require the right light and humidity to produce spores. Located high in the trees, the ants provide the right environment for the fungus. Deforestation would rob the fungus of its food and environment, thus endangering the fungus.
