Ecosystems
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The tundra biome receives the most rainfall of any biome on Earth.
Rewrite: The tropical rainforest biome receives the most rainfall of any biome on Earth.
2. Fix the sentence:
Cacti grow thick leaves to store as much sunlight as possible in the desert.
Rewrite: Cacti grow thick stems to store as much water as possible in the desert.
3. Fix the sentence:
A grassland biome is mostly covered by tall trees and gets very little sunlight.
Rewrite: A grassland biome is mostly covered by grasses and gets plenty of sunlight.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A biome is a large region with a specific climate, plants, and animals.
2. The two main factors that determine a biome are temperature and precipitation.
3. Animals in cold biomes often have thick fur or blubber to stay warm.
4. A deciduous forest biome has trees that lose their leaves every autumn.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why do tropical rainforests have more biodiversity than deserts?
Tropical rainforests have more biodiversity because they receive abundant rainfall and warmth year-round. These conditions support many different plants, which in turn provide food and shelter for a huge variety of animals.
2. How does the amount of precipitation affect the types of plants that grow in a biome?
Areas with high precipitation can support large trees and dense vegetation, while areas with very little precipitation only support drought-resistant plants like cacti and short grasses. The amount of water available determines which plants can survive.
