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: -A sizeable regional area defined by the type of plants, animals, soil, and climate inhabiting it is called a biome. There are seven types of biome in the world, including the Savanna, the grassland, the desert, the tropical rain forest, the tundra, the temperate forest, and the taiga.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists classify biomes in different ways, but the most important way is by a region’s distinguishing features – its climate, flora, and fauna. As with all of the Earth’s beings, the biomes depend on water and allow only the particular types of life that are adapted to survive within them.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two main factors that determine a particular biome are temperature and precipitation, or the climate of the region. This is because these two factors strongly impact which plants can grow in that area.
