the flow of energy and cycling of matter within an ecosystem.

a. Develop and use a model to compare and analyze the levels of
biological organization including organisms, populations,
communities, ecosystems, and biosphere.

d. Evaluate claims, evidence, and reasoning of the relationship
between the physical factors and organismal adaptations within

Name that Biome!

grass with scattered

clumps of trees, has dry

and wet seasons that

remain warm all the time

Rich soil, plants cover the
forest floor, most trees are

deciduous and lose leaves in

the fall

Conifer trees that do not lose
their leaves in fall, needlelike

leaves & a waxy coating

highest yearly

average rainfall, most

biologically diverse,
soil is wet & has poor

Temperate (mid latitude), cool

winters and hot summers,

mostly grasses with few to no

trees

Distinguished by the
availability of
sunlight and
concentration of
oxygen, salt, and
nutrients


Aquatic biomes include
Freshwater - Ponds,

lakes, streams,
rivers & wetlands

Marine - oceans,

coral reefs,
estuaries, &
wetlands

What is eutrophication? How
does it impact aquatic biomes?
