| Which biome receives less than 10 inches of rain per year. | desert |
| Which biome has bitterly cold winters, but the summer is mild enough for the ground to thaw; high precipitation and high humidity. | taiga |
| Which biome is the larges biome and is the northernmost of all biomes | tundra |
| Which biome has the highest species richness of all the biomes. | tropical rainforest |
| Which biome is located along the equator. | tropical rainforest |
| Where will you find a biome that has a year-round growing season and abundant rainfall. | tropical rainforest |
| Which biome is a forested biome dominated by cone-bearing plants (evergreens) | taiga |
| What is a permanently frozen layer of soil just under the soil surface. | tundra |
| Which biome has definite seasons with precipitation evenly distributed through the year. Common plants and animals include oak, elm, deer, bears and many songbirds. | temperate deciduous forest |
| The plants in this biome have many adaptations to prevent water loss, and animals tend to be nocturnal | desert |
| What does nocturnal mean | active at night |
| This biome has hot and dry summers, along with low and dense plant growth makes the risk of fire high in this area. | chaparral |
| What is a large area that is characterized by certain types of soils, climate conditions, and particular types of plant and animal life. | biome |
| What is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. | adaptation |

| Which biomes receive the least amount of rainfall | desert |
| Which biomes receive the least amount of rainfall | tundra |
| Describe three ways that desert plants can adapt to survive in their environment | Deep roots to absorb water, thick cuticle to reduce water loss, stomata open at night to reduce water loss, needle-like thorns to keep away predators |
| Describe three ways that desert animals can adapt to survive in their environment | Come out at night, eat plant roots that have lots of water stored in them, drink large amounts of water when it is available |
| Describe one way in which humans have impacted one particular biome | grasslands have been turned to farmland tropical rainforests have been cleared for land and resources |
| What are epiphytes | Non-parasitic plants that grow on other plants so they can receive light |
