Plant Processes and Biomes Assessment

The video explores various biomes on Earth, explaining how plants and animals adapt to different climates and conditions. It covers the four essential conditions for life: nutrients, energy, water, and temperature. The video also discusses the impact of climate factors like latitude, elevation, and proximity to oceans on biomes. It describes different types of biomes, including tundra, forests, deserts, grasslands, and aquatic biomes, and highlights human impacts on these ecosystems.
