A biome is a group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms

An ecosystem is all the living and nonliving things that interact in an area.
What is the difference? And why can one biome have 2 different ecosystems in it?
Within biomes and ecosystems, how are organisms similar?
a) Trees, Birds, Sunlight, Soil, Water / Rocks, Temperature, Wind, Air, Mountains / Biomes have different climates and organisms adapt / Organisms share similar adaptations
b) Fish, Rain, Clouds, Wind, Fish / Sand, Oxygen, Sunlight, Heat, Mountains / Biomes have the same climates and organisms don't adapt / Organisms have unique adaptations
c) Lions, Grass, Rain, Mountains, Sunlight / Air, Temperature, Rivers, Sand, Rocks / Biomes have different climates and organisms don't adapt / Organisms have the same adaptations
d) Wolves, Lakes, Clouds, Soil, Oxygen / Fire, Heat, Sunlight, Wind, Snow / Biomes have the same climates and organisms adapt / Organisms share similar adaptations

Final answer:

Biomes are large-scale communities of organisms with similar climates, while ecosystems are smaller-scale communities in a specific area. Biomes can have multiple ecosystems due to different abiotic factors. Organisms within biomes share similar adaptations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Biomes are large-scale communities of organisms with similar climates and dominant plant types. Ecosystems are smaller-scale communities consisting of all the living things and nonliving environment in a specific area. Biomes can have multiple ecosystems within them because different parts of the biome may have different abiotic factors and thus support different communities of plants and animals. Organisms within biomes are similar in that they share similar adaptations to the specific climate and environment of the biome.
