Chapter 19, Problem 4WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The adaptations present in polar and desert animals towards the climate of their respective biomes.
Introduction:
Biomes are the part of the ecosystem which consists of different communities of organisms. In general, there are two types of biomes: terrestrial and aquatic biomes. However, terrestrial and aquatic biome is also divided into various types. Terrestrial biomes consist of forest, deserts, and grassland. Aquatic biome consists of oceans, lakes, and streams.
