AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A biome is an area classified according to the species that live in that location. Temperature range, soil type, and the amount of light and water are unique to a particular place and form the niches for specific species allowing scientists to define the biome.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are five major types of biomes: aquatic, grassland, forest, desert, and tundra, though some of these biomes can be further divided into more specific categories, such as freshwater, marine, savanna, tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest, and taiga. Aquatic biomes include both freshwater and marine biomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomes are largely based on the geography and climate of a region. Therefore, a biome is a Geoclimatic zone that is identifiable on a global scale and includes things such as plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two main factors that determine a particular biome are temperature and precipitation, or the climate of the region.
