Questions and Answers

1.

Name the biome that has very low temperatures and permafrost
- A.
  
  Desert
- B.
  
  Rain Forest
- C.
  
  Boreal Forest
- D.
  
  Tundra
Correct Answer
D. Tundra

Explanation
The correct answer is Tundra. The tundra biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures and permafrost, which is a layer of permanently frozen soil. It is found in the Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. The cold temperatures and frozen soil make it difficult for trees to grow, resulting in a landscape dominated by grasses, mosses, and lichens. The tundra biome is also home to unique wildlife adapted to the harsh conditions, such as musk oxen, reindeer, and polar bears.

2.

Which biome has mainly coniferous (evergreen) trees?
- A.
  
  Deciduous Forest
- B.
  
  Boreal Forest AKA Taiga
- C.
  
  Rain Forest
- D.
  
  Tundra
Correct Answer
B. Boreal Forest AKA Taiga

Explanation
The correct answer is Boreal Forest AKA Taiga. The Boreal Forest, also known as the Taiga, is a biome characterized by mainly coniferous (evergreen) trees. These trees are well adapted to the cold temperatures and short growing seasons of the region. The Boreal Forest is found in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, and is the largest terrestrial biome on Earth. It is known for its dense forests of spruce, fir, pine, and larch trees, which provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species.

Select 2 names for the biome that has grass as its primary vegetation and there are very few trees.
- A.
  
  Desert
- B.
  
  Grassland
- C.
  
  Deciduous Forest
- D.
  
  Savanna
Correct Answer(s)
B. Grassland
D. Savanna

Explanation
The correct answer is Grassland and Savanna. Both of these biomes have grass as their primary vegetation and very few trees. Grasslands are characterized by vast stretches of grasses with few trees, while savannas are grasslands with scattered trees or shrubs. In both biomes, the dominant vegetation is grass, making them suitable for grazing animals.

Which biome has the largest diversity of plants and animals? It also has high moisture and rich soil.
- A.
  
  Saltwater biome
- B.
  
  Rainforest
- C.
  
  Grassland
- D.
  
  Deciduous forest
Correct Answer
B. Rainforest

Explanation
The rainforest has the largest diversity of plants and animals due to its high moisture and rich soil. The combination of these factors creates a perfect environment for a wide variety of species to thrive. The constant rainfall and warm temperatures support the growth of a vast array of plant species, which in turn provides habitat and food for a diverse range of animal species. The rainforest's complex and interconnected ecosystem allows for the coexistence of countless plant and animal species, making it the biome with the highest biodiversity.

Select 2 names that would describe biomes found in the oceans and seas.
- A.
  
  Tropical Rainforest
- B.
  
  Marine
- C.
  
  Saltwater
- D.
  
  Grassland
Correct Answer(s)
B. Marine
C. Saltwater

Explanation
The correct answer is Marine and Saltwater because these two names accurately describe biomes found in the oceans and seas. The term "Marine" refers to the biome that encompasses all saltwater environments, including oceans, seas, and estuaries. "Saltwater" specifically refers to the biome that consists of bodies of water with a high concentration of salt, such as oceans and seas. Both names highlight the importance of saltwater environments in the context of biomes found in the oceans and seas.

What abiotic factors of a rainforest could affect the survival for organisms?
- A.
  
  Trees
- B.
  
  Lizards
- C.
  
  Rivers
- D.
  
  Snakes
- E.
  
  Soil
- F.
  
  Tree frog
- G.
  
  Waterfalls
Correct Answer(s)
C. Rivers
E. Soil
G. Waterfalls

Explanation
You should have clicked on ALL abiotic (nonliving) choices. NO biotic (living) factors should have been clicked.

Which biome has trees that go dormant and lose their leaves in the winter?
- A.
  
  Boreal Forest
- B.
  
  Coniferous Forest
- C.
  
  Rain Forest
- D.
  
  Deciduous Forest
Correct Answer
D. Deciduous Forest

Explanation
Deciduous forests have trees that go dormant and lose their leaves in the winter. This is an adaptation to the changing seasons and colder temperatures. The trees shed their leaves to conserve energy and protect themselves from freezing temperatures. In the spring, they regrow their leaves and become active again. This cycle of leaf loss and regrowth is a characteristic feature of deciduous forests.

Which type of vegetation is most common in a desert?
- A.
  
  Cactus
- B.
  
  Pine trees
- C.
  
  Evergreen trees
- D.
  
  Broad leaf trees
Correct Answer
A. Cactus

Explanation
Cactus is the most common type of vegetation in a desert because it is well-adapted to survive in hot and arid conditions. Cacti have thick, fleshy stems that store water, allowing them to withstand long periods of drought. They also have spines instead of leaves, which helps to reduce water loss through evaporation. Additionally, cacti have shallow root systems that can quickly absorb water after rare rainfall events. These adaptations make cacti highly suited to the harsh desert environment, which is characterized by low moisture levels and high temperatures.

If you visited a biome and saw herds of animals, which biome would you likely be visiting?
- A.
  
  Tropical rainforest
- B.
  
  Taiga
- C.
  
  Grassland / Savanna
- D.
  
  Deciduous forest
Correct Answer
C. Grassland / Savanna

Explanation
If you visited a biome and saw herds of animals, it is likely that you would be visiting a grassland or savanna biome. Grasslands and savannas are characterized by vast open spaces covered in grasses and scattered trees, providing ample grazing opportunities for herbivores. These biomes support large populations of animals, including herds of grazing animals such as zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes. The presence of herds of animals suggests a grassland or savanna biome rather than a tropical rainforest, taiga, or deciduous forest, which have different vegetation and animal communities.
