Biomes
6 land biomes, water biomes and symbiosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A lynx is a cat with a thick coat that lives in cold climates. Its paws are wide and large, which makes them useful for walking over snow. In what biome would you MOST expect to find a lynx? | Taiga |
| This biome has soil that is known as permafrost because it stays frozen for most of the year? | Tundra |
| A scientist observes ferns, large woody vines, monkeys, sloths, and boa constrictors. In which biome is the researcher located? | Tropical Rain Forest |
| The water is an important characteristic of an estuary. What type of water is it? | It is a mixture of fresh water and salt water |
| You are a resident of the state of Georgia. As you are walking through the woods near your home you encounter rabbits, squirrels, and deer. What biome are you in? | Temperate Deciduous Forest |
| What types of trees are common in a temperate deciduous forest? | Deciduous trees- those that lose their leaves in the winter to conserve water and energy. Includes Oak, Hickory and Maple trees. |
| Which type of tree is most commonly found in the taiga? | Coniferous trees - those that have cones and needle like leaves. Includes Spruce, Fir and Pine trees. |
| Which biome is MOST like the desert in terms of precipitation? | The Tundra. |
| Which is the northernmost biome? | The Tundra. |
| An environmental scientist says that mountains do not fit into any specific biome. What is the reasoning behind this statement? | Conditions vary widely from the base to the summit of a mountain. |
| What is an example of a marine ecosystem? | The Pacific Ocean, The Atlantic Ocean, The Arctic Ocean, The Indian Ocean..... |
| This biome does not receive much rain, is very cold, and has a very short growing season. Plants include mosses, lichen, small grasses, and no trees. | The Tundra |
| Which biome receives an average of less than 25 centimeters of rain each year and the plants such as the cactus and long-rooted plants are adapted to conserve water? | The Desert |
| This biome receives a lot of rainfall during some seasons and very little during other seasons. Plants are only grasses because trees and shrubs do not grow due to droughts, fires, and grazing animals. | The Savannah |
| This biome experiences long winters, during which snow covers the ground. The evergreen trees here are adapted to the colder climate | The Taiga |
| This biome consists of ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers. Turtles, frogs, snails, and dragonflies are some organisms that live here. | Freshwater Biome |
| The animals in this biome include moose, bear, and wolves. Some animals migrate to warmer climates in the winter. Others hibernate for 6 to 8 months of the year. | The Taiga |
| This biome is located at the place at the mouth of a river where fresh water mingles with salt water from a bay or ocean. This biome usually has a great diversity of plants and animals. | Estuary |
| Plants and animals in this biome include saguaro cactus, hawks, roadrunners, rattlesnakes, and lizards. | The Desert |
| This biome has very little animal life, but musk oxen, Arctic foxes, caribou, and snowshoe hares live here and are well adapted to the cold climates. | The Tundra |
| Animals such as raccoons, foxes, and squirrels are well adapted to life in this biome. | Temperate Deciduous Forest |
| This biome is found in a wide band near the equator. This biome is characterized by warm temperatures and abundant rainfall that allows a wide variety of plants to grow here. | Tropical Rain Forest |
| This biome has a variety of large, grazing animals such as lions, zebras, gazelles, and hyenas. | Savanna |
| Parrots, frogs, monkeys, and lizards are a few of the great variety of animals present in this biome. | Tropical Rain Forest |
| This biome is characterized by trees that change colors and lose their leaves in the fall to help conserve water. This biome experiences definite seasons. | Temperate Deciduous Forest |
| This biome covers almost 75% of the earth’s surface. Organisms in this biome include sea stars, algae, crabs, whales, coral, and squid. | The Marine biome |
| Two biomes that receive the least amount of precipitation. | The Desert |
| The lizards in this biome have thick skin to enable them to conserve water. | The Desert |
| What is the main difference between the marine biome and the freshwater biome? | The marine biome has saltwater and the freshwater biome has fresh water. |
| Grassland that exists near the equator, it has warm temperatures with wet and dry seasons. | The Savanna. |
| Which of the following types of trees is not found in the temperate deciduous forest? Maple Birch Pine Hickory | Pine |
| Which of the following types of trees is not found in the taiga (coniferous forest)? Pine Oak Fir Spruce | Oak |
| Which two biomes have very few trees? | The tundra and the desert. |
| Cows can have tapeworms in their digestive systems that take food from them. What type of symbiotic relationship exists between the cow and tapeworm? | Parasitism |
| Lichens are a relationship between a fungus and an alga. The fungus provides a home for the alga and the alga makes food for the fungus. What type of symbiotic relationship is this? | Mutualism |
| Pilot fish are small fish that swim along with sharks. The shark scares away predators that try to eat the pilot fish. The shark is not affected. What type of relationship is this? | Commensalism |
| Which type of symbiotic relationship involves one organism benefiting and the other one being harmed? | parasitism |
| Which type of symbiotic relationship involves both types of organisms benefiting from the relationship? | Mutualism |
| Which type of symbiotic relationship involves one organism benefiting and the other one not being affected? | Commensalism |
