Select the biome, that is best described by the statement shown:

A low amount of solar energy causes the subsoil to be permanently frozen (permafrost).

• Taiga

The graph here shows the population growth curves of Paramecium aurelia and Paramecium caudatum cultures after they were mixed together. One influence that could correctly be drawn from the graph is that Paramecium aurelia and paramecium caudatum cannot successfully

• Utilize oxygen for anaerobic respiration

• Utilize the same wavelengths of light

• Live in marine environments

• Occupy the same niche
