Terrestrial biomes are defined mainly by their
precipitation, temperature, vegetation
vegetation, animal life, temperature
temperature and elevation
temperature only
The biome shown in the climatogram above would best be described as a:
temperate deciduous forest
desert
tundra
tropical rain forest
Which animal would you most likely not find living in the Tundra or Taiga.
Polar bear
Owl
Elk
Snake
What does biodiversity mean?
Only one species in an area.
The different amount of species in an area
All abiotic life
Nitrogen fixation
1. What are the two most significant abiotic factors that influence what type of biome is found in a geographic area?
Wind speed and Humidity
Humidity level Precipitation
Average precipitation and temperature
Based on the climate graph shown, what type of biome Iquitos?
Tropical grassland
Tropical rainforest
Deciduous forest
Tundra
A new species is discovered in a moderately warm climate. Its diet is primarily small vegetarian. Large carnivorous birds are its main predators. The creature has sharp claws to dig tunnels to escape from carnivores. In which biome will this new species thrive?
savanna
desert
rainforest
taiga
Many types of animals like the bear store up fat during the warm summer months and then hibernate during the cold winter months. Hibernation is a common adaptation of animals in which biome?
savanna
temperate deciduous forest
tropical rain forest
desert
Due to fairly constant rain and high temperatures, the vegetation in the rainforest is very dense.
Which of the following is an adaptation that helps plants win the battle for sunlight on the forest floor?
Vines that climb trees
Grasses that grow in clumps
Leaves that are needle-like
Trees that are cone-shaped
A tree called the Creosote has a taste and smell that animals find unpleasant. It has leaves that close in the day to keep in water and open at night to absorb moisture. Its leaves also grow close to the stem to reduce water evaporation. This plant also has dual root systems that tap deep into the underground water and radial roots that collect surface water. Which of the following statements is true based on the paragraph above?
The Creosote tree is well adapted for the desert biome and its lack of rainfall.
Due to the type of leaves found on the Creosote tree, this tree most likely thrives in the savanna.
The dual root systems of the Creosote tree would help it to survive in the tundra.
The Creosote tree is most likely found in the rainforest because it has adapted to conserve water.
Which of the following organisms has an adaptation that will allow it to survive in the tundra?
Mammals with thin fur that allows them to get rid of heat efficiently.
Plants that have broad leaves to capture sunlight and long roots to capture water.
Reptiles with long tongues with sticky pads for catching flying insects.
Grasses with shallow roots and the ability to grow quickly when moisture is rarely present.
A new species of animal that can tolerate drought has been found. These animals graze in herds and like grasses with high silica content.
Which biome does this animal MOST LIKELY inhabit?
taiga
savanna
temperate deciduous forest
desert
