If the amount of dissolved oxygen in the light bottle used for the investigation in the lesson does not change, an explanation for this is

• The rates of photosynthesis and respiration are equal

• Respiration is not occurring

• photosynthesis is not occurring

• no photosynthesis occurred

One characteristic feature of the tundra is that only the surface thaws in the summer and refreezes in the winter, leaving a permanently frozen subsoil. This characteristic is known as

• Hoarfrost

• Glaciation

• Permafrost

• Crystallization

The biome known for trees with broad leaves that fall off the trees in the winter.

• Taiga/Boreal/Coniferous Forests

• Temperate Seasonal (Decidious) Forests

• Deserts

• Tropical Rain Forests

• Desert

• Grassland

• Tropical rainforest

• Temperate forest
