Answer:

Tropical forest recieve large amounts of rain every year, about 60mm at least. Tropical forests also have no dry season. Plants that grow in this type of forest must adapt to the extremely wet conditions. For instance, trees in this type of forests grow long and thin trunks to reach the sunlight easier.

Coniferous forest typically have long winters and high precipitation levels. However, unlike Tropical rainforests, Coniferous forests have diverse seasons and no all year rainfall. It still rains a lot though. For example, trees in this forest grow relatively short and thick trunks to protect from the cold winters months.

The pyramid of the biomass depicts the depicts the bio productivity at each level of the organism. The producers are the organism, which have the highest number of the productivity and their number is comparatively higher than the consumers.

In the pyramid of biomass, the herbivore comes after the producers and then the carnivores. In this case, the grass would have highest productivity, so, it would occupy lower most position, then mouse and then snake.

So, the order in a biomass pyramid from lowest to highest is grass, mouse, snake.

Answer:

elastic 1. supports the external ear

fibrocartilage 2. between the vertebrae

hyaline 3. forms the walls of the voice box (larynx)

elastic 4. the epiglottis

hyaline 5. articular cartilages

fibrocartilage 6. meniscus in a knee joint

hyaline 7. connects the ribs to the sternum

fibrocartilage 8. most effective at resisting compression

elastic 9. most springy and flexible

hyaline 10. most abundant

Explanation:

Cartilage is a type of <u>connective tissue</u> that is characterized by being avascular and very flexible. There are three types of cartilages that can be differentiated by their histological properties, their function and their specific location in the body.

Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant and can be commonly found in articulations.

Fibrocartilage presents a mix of cartilage tissue and collagen fibers, making it tougher than the other types.

Elastic cartilage is much more flexible because it has elastic fibers and is found in places where this flexibility is needed (like the epiglottis).
