Which of the following best describes a tundra biome?
Hot and dry with very little rain
Cold with little precipitation and permafrost
Warm with lots of trees and rainfall

Why does the tundra have fewer animals than a rainforest?
It has too much sunlight
It is too cold and dry
There is too much water
It has no land to live on
How does the biosphere interact with the atmosphere?
Plants take in water to create food
Animals burrow in the ground
Plants take in carbon dioxide
They do not interact

The prey population increases
The ecosystem remains unchanged
Other predators become weak
Which of the following is a decomposer?
Wolf
Rabbit
Mushroom
Eagle
A predator’s role in an ecosystem is to:
Eat only plants
Control populations
Create new plants
Live on their own

True or False: The biosphere only includes animals (not plants).
True or False: Freshwater is a biome.
True or False: The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone helped balance the ecosystem.
True or False: The removal of top predators does not harm ecosystems.
True or False: The geosphere and biosphere do not interact with each other.
True or False: The hydrosphere can affect the biosphere by providing water to living things.
True or False: The tundra and the desert are similar because they both have limited water.
True or False: Scavengers help clean up dead animals in an ecosystem.
True or False: Humans sometimes remove top predators to protect livestock.
True or False: A producer is an animal that eats only plants.
