Which would be an adaptation for living in the tundra?

funnel shaped leaves to help water runoff

deep roots to go into the permafrost

hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

large ears to release heat

Answer: hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

Explanation:

Hibernation is something many animals do to survive in the tundra. They hid in dens for several months during the winter. Their metabolisms get to a dormant state in which their bodies survive thanks to stores of fat gained during the summer. The Grizzly bear is an example of a tundra animal that hibernates during the winter.

Answer: The name of the biome is Tundra.

Explanation:

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation.

Characteristics of tundra include:

Extremely cold climate

Low biotic diversity

Simple vegetation structure

Limitation of drainage

Short season of growth and reproduction

Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material

Large population oscillations.

Definition of Term:

Biome -

What is a biome? Biomes are very large ecological areas on the earth's surface, with fauna and flora (animals and plants) adapting to their environment. Biomes are often defined by abiotic factors such as temperature, climate, relief, geology, soils and vegetation.

______ is the process of breaking rocks into smaller fragments.

forsale [732]

Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Ice wedging and abrasion are two important processes of mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the Earth's surface.
Deposition is the laying down or settling of eroded material. Sediment deposited in water typically forms layers called beds.
Electricity is used to move DNA molecule fragments through the agarose gel. This technique has lots of applications.
