How do the leaves help trees survive in their respective biomes? A. The temperate leaves are broad and flat to maximize sunlight
absorption, while the taiga leaves are long and thin to minimize sunlight absorption. B. The temperate leaves are thin to minimize absorption of sunlight, while the taiga leaves are specialized to store water during the dry season. C. The temperate leaves shed water during the wet season, while the taiga leaves can enter long periods of dormancy during colder weather. D. The temperate leaves grow in the spring and shed in the cold, while the taiga leaves are dark and wax-coated to prevent the tree from freezing.
The temperate leaves grow in temperate forests found in America, Europe, and Asia. This biome comprise of trees have evergreen conifers with needle like leaves. Such leaves can endure wide change of temperature and light. Some vegetation of temperate biome are conifers such as Pine, Hemlock and other. The trees shed their leaves with the beginning of fall and new leaves are delivered in late-winter to protect from the cold.
On other hand, Taiga forest is the biggest biome on the planet. This biome contain conifers with long, slender waxy needles like leaves. These waxy leaves provide security against freezing temperature and from dying drying out. In contrast to temperate they don't sheds their leaves in winter and keep their needles throughout the entire year.
Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is absorbed or released. A great example is Ice having its state changed to the liquid that is WATER. When ice is heated, it absorbs thermal energy and its temperature rises. At some point, the temperature stops rising and the ice begins to change to water, a liquid. As we all know, The change from the solid state to the liquid state is called melting.
