AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lack of water and intense heat or cold make this biome inhospitable to most life forms. Most of the plants you’ll see in the desert are species of cactus.

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: -The tropical forest biome is estimated to contain over half of the terrestrial species on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -DESERT: sparse drought-resistant vegetation, typically spiny and with tiny leaves and photosynthetic bark. Typical plants include cactuses, acacias and short-lived annuals.
