Which statements are true about biomes? Select two correct answers.

Biomes are defined by their climate and by the organisms that have adapted to it.

Latitude, geographic features, and atmospheric conditions all contribute to a biome's biodiversity.

A single ecosystem can include many different types of biomes.

The term "biome" was first defined by ecologists in the 1800s.

There are exactly seven different types of biomes that are studied by scientists.
