Answer: There are eight types of terrestrial biomes - temperate grasslands, temperate forests, tropical rainforests, subtropical rainforests, savannas, subtropical deserts, chaparral, boreal forests and arctic tundra.

Explanation: A terrestrial biome can be defined as an area of land that have similar communities of plants and animals and also similar climate.

Temperate grasslands: The climate temperature varies from semi-arid to semi-humid. Vegetation consist of grass and/or shrubs. Example includes  Eurasian steppes, north american prairies.

Temperate forests: It is second largest biome , which covers 25% of the world's forest area. Its is known for its seasons and leaf-shedding trees. For example the Valdivian and magellanic temperate forests.

Tropical rainforests: It occurs in the areas of tropical climate. There is no dry season. Average precipitation of the year is at least of 60 mm. For example Daintree rainforests, Congo rainforests.

Subtropical rainforests: It has the the features of temperate forests and tropical forests.

Savannas: It is a mixed woodland grassland ecosystem. Tress are widely spaced so that canopy does not close. For example Serengeti plains of Tanzania.

Subtropical desert: High temperature, warm soils, and very low precipitation are its important features. Plants such as shrubs and succulents can be found there. Mojave desert, Sonoran are the examples.

Chaparral: It is a heathland plant community. Found mainly in US state of California and in northern portion of the Baja California peninsula. For example Santa ynez mountains, near Santa Barbara, California.

Boreal forests: It is also known as Taiga. It has coniferous forests consisting mainly of spruces, larches and pines. It is world's largest forest. For example Jack London Lake in Russia.

Arctic tundra: It is a vast, cold, and treeless area of low, swampy plains in the north around Arctic ocean. There are three regions and associated type of tundra that are Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine.

How is cancer related to the cell cycle?
solong [7]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

romanna [79]
I believe it would be to calculate the amount of C-14 atoms left. scientists began to find out how long an object has been decaying, this has to do with half lifes etc. and how long a specific mineral/elements half life is. they use this to calculate how old it is (not an exact age but it's very accurate.)

When NADH passes its electrons into the Electron Transport System, NADH is chemically:
erik [133]

Answer:

Option D, oxidized

Explanation:

The NADH gets oxidised when it passes its electrons into the Electron Transport System

Oxidization is a process in which one element or compound loses its electron to other chemical element or compound thereby itself getting oxidised and reducing the other one (the one who gains the electron).

Here in the electron transport system, the NADH loses or donates its electron to the Electron Transport System thus chemically it gets oxidized.

Hence, option D is correct
