which biome will a biologist visit to see reindeer and wolves that live near a region with a lot of pine trees?
a. a tundra
b. a tropical rainforest
c. a taiga
d. a desert
c. a taiga
The biologist will visit the taiga biome to see reindeer and wolves that live near a region with a lot of pine trees.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand which biome is characterized by the presence of reindeer and wolves as well as a region with a lot of pine trees.
The correct answer is option c. a taiga.
Explanation:
1. Start by understanding the characteristics of each biome:
a. Tundra: This biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures, low-growing vegetation such as mosses and lichens, and permafrost (permanently frozen soil). Reindeer are found in this biome, but the presence of pine trees is rare.
b. Tropical Rainforest: This biome is characterized by high temperatures, abundant rainfall, and dense vegetation. Wolves and pine trees are not typically found in tropical rainforests.
c. Taiga: Also known as the boreal forest, this biome is characterized by cold temperatures, moderate to high precipitation, and a large number of coniferous (evergreen) trees, including pine trees. Reindeer and wolves are commonly found in the taiga.
d. Desert: This biome is characterized by extremely low precipitation, high temperatures, and sparse vegetation. Reindeer, wolves, and pine trees are not typically found in deserts.
2. By understanding the characteristics of the biomes, we can see that the only biome that fits the description of having reindeer and wolves in a region with a lot of pine trees is the taiga (option c).
In conclusion, a biologist would visit a taiga biome to see reindeer and wolves, which live near a region with a lot of pine trees.
