Please help me?

What is the difference in Biology between a Ecosystem and a Biome? What category would a regular rainforest that is tropical without any animals, just scenary go under, Biome or Ecosystem? Also when I see animals in tropical rainforest pictures under yahoo images. How can I be able to label the type of animal if I don't know the name of the animal? Thanks for your answers!!! Also how can I tell what types of plants in the pictures to like the characteristics, I mean how to identify them and how will I know the name?

1. Biology is the study of living things... Ecosystem is the animal chain or in short the animals and their habitats... A biome would be the type of conditions for a specific group of living creatures. Biology is the studying of both ecosystem and biomes, ecosystem is the interaction, biome would be the type of home. Click on the links of images, or google them and click the links its attached with. Should explain or say the names. And I advise you to do your own research and homework next time lol.
2. An ecosystem includes all the living and nonliving factors in an area .. a lake, a forest, a desert, a field, a garden. A biome includes all the regions of the Earth that have similar climate and communities of living things ... all the tropical rainforests, all the deserts, all the taiga, all the tundra. I have never heard of a particular term for the rainforest without including all the living things in it. Organism - one living thing Population - all the members of one species in an area Community - all the living things in an area Ecosystem - all the living things and nonliving factors in the area Biome - all the similar ecosystems across the world When you are trying to identify plants and animals from the tropical rainforest, go to a rainforest site instead of just looking at the pictures.
