what are the two factors that create the difference between the temperate forest biome in the taiga biome

1 answer:

8 0

The temperate forest biome covers latitudes ranging approximately from the southern United States to southern Canada, while the taiga biome, also known as boreal forest, extends from the latitude of southern Canada to about 60 degrees north latitude. (see References 1, References 3) Thus, these two biomes are adjacent, which explains the many similarities between taiga and northern temperate forests. Both biomes have four distinct seasons, but the temperate forest climates cover a much wider range of temperatures and precipitation patterns. Taiga, in contrast, is reliably cold: most of the precipitation falls as snow, winters are severe and the growing season is short -- about 130 days compared to 140 to 200 days for temperate forests.

Compare photosynthesis and respiration with regard to each of the following

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis Vs. Respiration

1) Photosynthesis gets it's energy from sunlight, and uses the sunlight to change water and CO2 into energy. Cellular respiration gets it's energy from glucose molecules and oxygen.

2) Photosynthesis uses energy, CO2, and water to make energy and releases oxygen. Cellular respiration uses glucose molecules and oxygen to make energy, and releases CO2 and water.

3) Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria, and photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: Dense regular (fibrous) connective tissue.

Explanation:

Connective tissue is a tissue that performs various functions such as binding, connecting and supporting the other organs or tissues or separating one tissue from another.
Dense regular connective tissue connects various tissues present in the body.
Since the fibers are tightly packed, this tissue is dense and fibrous, and because the arrangement of the fibers is in parallel fashion, it is of the regular type.
