Answer 1

Answer: Taiga vs Desert

Step-by-step explanation:

Taiga:

1. Trees have dark-colored leaves to maximize absorption of sunlight (Since the time available for sun exposure is short)
2. Animals have thick fur (Taiga is a cold environment, which can have snow most of the time, for which animals develop a thick fur to protect from cold-exposure)

Desert:

1. Plants have structures that conserve water (For example, deep root systems that let them absorb water, or needles that prevent water loss)
2. Trees have soft, green needles
