Biomes

What adaptations do plants in the desert biome have?

• Thick skins, deep roots, and the ability to store water

• Broad leaves to capture sunlight

• Shallow roots to absorb surface water

• Bright flowers to attract pollinators

What is the climate like in a desert biome?

• Deserts are typically warm and humid with high precipitation.

• Deserts can be very hot or very cold, with very little precipitation.

• Deserts have a temperate climate with moderate rainfall.

• Deserts are always cold and snowy.

What role do seasons play in the tundra biome?

• They have no effect on the tundra ecosystem.

• They affect the growth cycles of plants and the migration patterns of animals.

• They only influence temperature variations.

• They determine the amount of precipitation in the tundra.

What are tropical rainforests known for?

• They are hot and damp, with a rich diversity of plants and animals.

• They are cold and dry, with few species of plants and animals.

• They are characterized by seasonal changes and moderate temperatures.

• They are primarily found in polar regions and have little vegetation.

What biome do kangaroos and zebras live in?

• Desert

• Grassland

• Tundra

• Rainforest

What are the characteristics of the tundra biome?

• Very long, cold winters and short, cool summers.

• Mild winters and hot, dry summers.

• Consistently warm temperatures year-round.

• Frequent rainfall and high humidity.

What is the main characteristic of grasslands?

• Grasslands are dominated by grasses and have few trees.

Name three types of biomes.

• Tundra, desert, and tropical rainforest.

• Savanna, tundra, and coral reef.

• Desert, grassland, and temperate forest.

How do biomes affect the types of animals that can live there?

• Different biomes provide different climates and resources, influencing the types of animals that can survive.

• Biomes have no effect on animal life; animals can adapt to any environment.

• All animals can live in any biome as long as they have food.

• Biomes only affect plant life, not animal life.

What is the significance of the understory in a tropical rainforest?

• It is important for biodiversity, providing habitat for many species.

• It is the layer where most sunlight penetrates.

• It is primarily composed of large trees that dominate the canopy.

• It serves as a barrier against strong winds.
