A large ecological area on earths surface is a

Biome

The factor most directly related to the types of organisms found in a biome is

Temperature

The biome where climbing trees is helpful is

taiga

a crucial chemical property for sustaining life in aquatic biomes is

oxygen levels

The depth of a lake affects the lake

species that live there

Temperature variations influence aquatic biomes by determining the

climate

The terrestrial biome with very low rainfall and extreme temperature is

desert

In georgia, the aquatic ecosystem with the highest salinity is

many species

One was organisms adapt to desert life is

storing water in their bodies

A factor affecting organisms in high-altitude biomes is

estuaries

In aquatic ecosystems, estuaries are breeding grounds for

temperature and oxygen levels

One characteristic of ponds compared to lakes is that ponds are usually

shallower

The biome characterized by permafrost is

tundra

humans impact aquatic biomes by

overfishing

The primary energy source for ecosystem is

sunlight

The biome with the highest biodiversity is

tropical rainforest

A plant adaptation in a dry biome is

Thick, waxy skin
