Biome ID
A grassland biome with scattered trees.
What is a Savanna?
Adaptation that helps a penguin survive in cold, aquatic environments.
What is a thick layer of insulating feathers?
This factor defines a desert ecosystem.
What is low precipitation?
They receive the most amount of sunlight.
What are rainforest's?
Distinguishes an aquatic ecosystem from a terrestrial one.
What is water?
Permafrost layer in the soil.
What is a Tundra?
Adaptation to help animals blend in with their environment.
What is camouflage?
Characteristic of tundra soil that makes plant growth difficult.
What is permafrost?
The primary limiting factor for life in the desert biome.
What is lack of water?
Regulating water and salt within their cells.
What is a marine organism adaptation?
Known for its seasonal variation with warm, rainy summers and cold, snowy winters.
What is a Temperate Deciduous Forest?
Black skin absorbs heat from the sun, while white fur reflects light, reducing heat loss. The fat provides insulation and energy reserves.
What are Polar Bear adaptations?
Limiting factors include cold, snowy winters and coniferous trees.
What is a Taiga?
Trees adapted to the cold and snowy conditions of the Taiga biome.
What are coniferous trees?
Role animals play in a savanna ecosystem.
What is, contribute to biodiversity?
High biodiversity and constant high temperatures.
What is a Tropical Rainforest?
A key adaptation for survival in the tundra biome.
What is, becoming cold resistant via insulating fur or feather layers.
Amount of dissolved oxygen is a limiting factor in this biome.
What is aquatic?
Microscopic pores on leaves that allow for gas exchange, crucial for photosynthesis and transpiration.
What are stomata?
Common feature of animals living in polar regions.
What is thick fur or blubber for insulation?
They purify water, reduce flooding, and nurture biodiversity.
What is a Wetland?
The ability to conserve water and stay cool.
What is a desert adaptation?
High salinity is a limiting factor of this biome.
What is the ocean?
Stabilize the tree in the unstable soil and filter the saltwater'
What are mangrove roots?
They provide a habitat for a variety of marine species.
What are coral reefs?
