Question

Over time, animals have developed adaptations to help them thrive in the environent in which they live. Read the descriptions below and based on the adaptations determine the biome for which the organisms are adapted.

Description 1: some of the plants that live in this biome have drip tips to help shed extra water. To provide extra support some plants have extra thick roots. Buttress and stilt roots are common. Finally, in this biome you are likely to find a large array of epiphytes.

Description 2: many of the mammals that live in this biome have fur to protect them from insects and keep them warm. Reptiles and insects that live here tend to have bright colors, while others are famous for their ability to camouflage.

a
Tropical Rain Forest
b
Taiga
c
Temperate/ deciduous Forest
d
Tundra
e
Desert

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A. it rains so much that they have to have drip tips so the plants don't absorb all of the water and drown. Also epiphytes are often found in the rainforest.

2. D. The tundra is very cold and they need their fur to protect them.

Answer 2

A. Tropical rainforest.

You can determine this from the fact that there is an abundance of water, that many animals are brightly colored, and most importantly the presence of epiphytes, which are tropical plants. They could only grow in the rainforest.
