Temperature affects which plants grow in an area by:

Providing necessary warmth for growth

Determining the length of the growing season

Influencing the types of plants that can survive

A large region characterized by a specific type of climate and certain types of plants and animal communities

A small region with a specific type of climate

Weather conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, and winds in an area over a long period of time

The height of an object above sea level

Distance north and south of the equator

Distance north and south of the equator and is measured in degrees

Height of an object above sea level

Distance north and south of the equator

Precipitation affects which plants grow in an area by:

providing necessary water for growth

Latitude and altitude are different in that latitude refers to the distance north or south of the equator, while altitude refers to the height above sea level. How do these factors affect the organisms that live in a biome?

Latitude affects climate, while altitude affects temperature and oxygen levels.

Latitude affects oxygen levels, while altitude affects climate.

Both latitude and altitude only affect temperature.

Neither latitude nor altitude affect organisms.

The equator passes through the country of Ecuador. But the climate in Ecuador can range from hot and humid to cool and dry. What might cause this range in climate?

Latitude and altitude variations

A Tropical Rain Forest is a type of forest characterized by high rainfall and plays a crucial role in the environment by:

Providing habitat for diverse species

The Emergent Layer of a tropical rain forest is characterized by:

tall trees that rise above the canopy

The Canopy in a rain forest is structured as:

The upper layer of trees and branches

Explain what an Epiphyte is and how it survives in the rain forest.

An Epiphyte is a plant that grows on another plant and survives by absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and rain.

An Epiphyte is a type of fungus that decomposes organic matter in the rainforest.

An Epiphyte is a large tree that provides shelter to animals in the rainforest.

An Epiphyte is a type of insect that feeds on plant leaves in the rainforest.

Where are Temperate Rain Forests found and what are their characteristics?

Temperate Rain Forests are found in coastal areas with high rainfall and are characterized by a moderate climate and diverse species.

Temperate Rain Forests are found in desert regions and are characterized by low rainfall and sparse vegetation.

Temperate Rain Forests are found in polar regions and are characterized by extreme cold and ice-covered landscapes.

Temperate Rain Forests are found in tropical regions and are characterized by high temperatures and humidity.

List three characteristics of tropical rain forests.

High biodiversity, dense vegetation, and high rainfall

Cold temperatures, sparse vegetation, and low biodiversity

Dry climate, few trees, and low humidity

Moderate rainfall, deciduous trees, and seasonal changes

Name the layers of a tropical rain forest IN ORDER.

Emergent layer, canopy layer, understory layer

Canopy layer, emergent layer, forest floor, understory layer

Understory layer, canopy layer, emergent layer

Forest floor, understory layer, canopy layer, emergent layer

The forest biomes of the world are being threatened in two ways. Which of the following are they?

Deforestation and climate change

A plant survives the change of seasons in a temperate deciduous forest by:

shedding leaves in winter and regrowing them in spring.

keeping its leaves throughout the year.

How does a snowshoe hare avoid predation by other animals during the winter in a taiga biome? How might this affect the animal that depends on the snowshoe hare for food?

By changing its fur color to white for camouflage, which may lead to food scarcity for predators.

By migrating to a different biome, which may lead to predators following them.

By hibernating during the winter, which may lead to predators finding alternative food sources.

By becoming nocturnal, which may lead to predators hunting at night.

A large, dry, barren region usually having sandy or rocky soil and little or no vegetation.

A large body of salt water that covers most of the earth's surface.

A dense forest with a high amount of annual rainfall.

A large area of grassland with few trees.

Permanently frozen soil underneath the topsoil layer

A layer of soil that thaws every summer

Describe two desert animals and the adaptations that help them survive.

Both Rattlesnakes and Spadefoot toads have adaptations for desert survival.

Compare the plants that live in deserts with the plants that live in the tundra biome.

Desert plants have adaptations for obtaining and conserving water, while tundra plants grow without soil and cover rocks.

Explain why migratory animals such as elephants, giraffes, and bison usually live in temperate grasslands.

Because temperate grasslands provide abundant food resources and suitable climate conditions.
