AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The primary factor which determines a biome is the climate. Temperature and precipitation essentially determines what kind of growing season or soil quality the terrain may have, which therefore affects the growth of plants living there.

Detailed explanation-2: -The biome concept organizes large-scale ecological variation. Terrestrial biomes are distinguished primarily by their predominant vegetation, and are mainly determined by temperature and rainfall. Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 4 main factors that can affect the growth of your plants. They are water, light, nutrients, and temperature. These four things affect the growth hormones of the plant, which will either make the plant grow quickly or slowly.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biomes where rainfall is not frequent, the vegetation is mostly cactuses and desert shrubs. In extreme cases, lack of rainfall results in no plants, no matter what the temperature is. The higher the temperature and precipitation are, the taller and denser the vegetation is.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because climate determines plant growth, it also influences the number and variety of other organisms in a terrestrial biome. Biodiversity generally increases from the poles to the equator. It is also usually greater in more humid climates.
