In Eastern Tennessee there are trees such as oak, maple, and beech that lose their leaves each year. What type of biome would these trees be found in?

Tropical Rainforest

Coniferous Forest

Grassland

Deciduous Forest

Required

1

Which non-living factor affects organisms living in the tundra?

extreme heat

daily rainfall

 average annual temperature

large predators

Required

1

Temperate forests have 4 distinct seasons

True

False

Required

1

Coniferous trees are found in the taiga biome. What adaptation allows coniferous trees to survive there?

Leaves that change colors in the fall and fall off during the winter.

Shallow roots to absorb extra water during the dry months.

Waxy, needle-like leaves to prevent evaporation and snow accumulation.

Broad leaves to capture extra sunlight in the cold winters.

Look at the list of Temperate Deciduous Forest Adaptations. Why are ALL of these adaptations important in a temperate deciduous forest?

Temperate Deciduous Forest Adaptations
-Rabbits change their fur color to blend in with their surroundings.
-Birds migrate to warmer temperatures in the winter.
-Bears shed fur in summer and grow thick coats for winter.

The adaptations are only about staying warm in the winter.

The adaptations allow these animals to camouflage with their environment.

The adaptations allow these animals to fight off their predators.

Which of the following descriptions matches the deciduous forest biome?

This biome is found around the equator and it receives sun light all year. The vegetation is dominated by broad-leaf trees that continue growing and doing photosynthesis all year.

This biome is found in the Northern and Southern hemispheres in places that have summers and winters of similar length. The vegetation is dominated by broad-leaf trees that lose their leaves during the fall in preparation for winter.

This biome is found around the equator and receives sun light all year. The vegetation is dominated by broad-leaf trees that lose their leaves during times of drought.

This biome is found in the Northern and Southern hemispheres in the last places where trees can grow before the tundra or the poles start. The vegetation is dominated by conifers such as the pine trees

Required

1

Found in regions close to the equator. Receive a lot of rain & warm temperatures throughout the year with constant sunlight. Many diverse animals & tall trees form a canopy.

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Tropical Rainforest

Taiga

Tundra

Required

1

Lots of trees that shed their leaves & grow new ones each year are found here. Receives 50 cm. of rain per year, enough to support the growth of trees & plants. Temperatures vary during the year with all the seasons. Many birds, opossums, bears, & porcupines are found here & may migrate or hibernate in the winter. Found in the eastern part of the United States.

Tropical Rainforest

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Tundra

Taiga

Required

1

Here in northern Canada you will find many trees that have needle like leaves & produce seeds in cones such as pine, fir, & spruce trees. Winters are very cold with much snow & summers are warm enough to melt the snow and bring much rain. Trees have a waxy covering, a necessary adaptation to keep water from evaporating since much of the year the water is frozen. Many herbivores live here such as deer, elk, moose, & beavers that attract large predators such as wolves, bears, & lynxes.

Taiga

Tropical Rainforest

Tundra

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Required

1

Extremely cold & dry biome located in the artic regions. Receives little precipitation like the desert but here most of the soil is permanently frozen. No trees grow here because of the permafrost not allowing for roots to grow. The top layer of soil thaws for grass to grow. Herbivores graze on the grass or lichen & have thick fur to withstand the freezing climate

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Tundra

Taiga

Tropical Rainforest

Required

1

There are no large trees in this biome due to the bitterly cold winters and because roots cannot penetrate the frozen ground.
