There is a long list of adaptations‚ but some of the most common are the reduction of leaves‚ development of the stem as a major photosynthetic structure‚ coating plant in thick wax‚ dense coating of hair‚ and an extensive underground root system. Plants‚ such as cacti‚ will reduce their amount of leaves and normally

surprising when were working. Like when we were testing the water and ice biomes there was a pretty steady temp. for both but‚ the water biome had an unexpected increase of 1.5º right at the end but this did not occur for the ice biome. With all the other biomes the temperatures increased under the lamp and when the light was turned out it decreased as suspected. Something that was strange though was that greenhouse gasses biome had a steady increase with the light but when the light was turned off

desert and the geographical location‚ common desert plants include cacti‚ sagebrush‚ creosote bushes‚ shrubs‚ and short grasses. Agricultural plants are rare‚ because they are only found where rivers and streams take place‚ which is very uncommon in most deserts. The vegetation has adapted to survive in the desert biome by using several distinct features to prevent water loss‚ attacks from predators‚ and the harsh weather conditions. Many plants found in the desert are succulents‚ meaning that they

Discuss the characteristics of a biome you have studied. Biomes are large world regions in which climate‚ soils‚ natural vegetation and animal life are all interrelated. The biome that i have studied is the desert biome. Dry Climate Desert climate is very dry‚ with a yearly rainfall of between 0 and 250mm. Although deserts are very dry regions‚ very few deserts are completely dry. Parts of the Atacama Desert in Chile are said to be the driest places on earth. They receive an average of less than

Madagascar’s biomes? Discuss the major features of at least one of these biomes. Use the textbook for biome examples. Madagascar is a tropical rainforest‚ rain forest savanna and grasslands. The rain forest receives 120 inches of rain at least a year. It has very wet and dense vegetation within the trees. Anywhere from 70 plus percent of animal life lives in the trees. It is filled with lakes‚ river‚ swamps and a wide variety of different terrain. There is an overabundance of green plant life that strives

Plants‚ also called green plants (Viridiplantae in Latin)‚ are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants‚ conifers‚ ferns and mosses‚ as well as‚ depending on definition‚ the green algae‚ but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp‚ nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts‚ which gives them their

One thing that plants and animals both have in common is the fact that they adapt‚ the main thing isn’t that they adapt though it’s why they do it. Animals‚ plants‚ and humans all share the same thing they have a will to live in different ways maybe or some might want to live

Rain forest Biome The average rain fall a rain forest receives is 50 to 260 inches yearly (125-660 centimeters). Rain forest belongs in a wet climate. Its temperature does not go higher than 93 degrees (34 degrees Celsius) or drop below 68 degrees (20 degrees Celsius). The rain forests average humidity is 77%-88%. Almost all rain forests are near the equator. Half of all plant and animal species are in the rain forest. Tropical rain forests produce 40% of earth’s oxygen. ¼ of all plants in the rain
