Answer:

The difference is in the location. If the rain forest is close to the equator, it is considered tropical. If the rain forest is farther away from the equator (between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer or the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn) then the forest is considered to temperate.

Not only (As the other answerer has said) but tropical rainforests tend to get a lot more rain than temperate forests! Also, they each have different animal species that live in said forests. Like, for example, rainforests will have frogs (Like the Poison Dart Frog) and birds (Like the Macaw or other tropical birds). Tropical rainforests may also have different kinds of plants that grow, some plants prefer humidity so they would thrive in rainforests whereas temperate forests don't necessarily become humid very often so that plant wouldn't thrive as well as it would in rainforests. (I don't know if that made sense honestly, sorry if it was confusing)

So basically the differences between temperate and tropical rainforests are the plants, animals, and habitat, or the characteristics that biome has.

Hope this helps!

When is the generation of an action potential impossible no matter the strength of the stimulus?
ANTONII [103]
The right answer is <span>Refractory period.

At the moment when the action potential is emitted, the fiber being depolarized, it is impossible to depolarize it again. It is, therefore, necessary to wait until the membrane potential returns to a value below the critical threshold in order to be able to excite it again. We are thus led to distinguish two periods that characterize its excitability.
An absolute refractory period: during which any stimulation, even supraliminal, is ineffective since the fiber is already depolarized.
A relative refractory period: during which a second action potential can be omitted provided that the depolarization produced by the excitation reaches the critical threshold, which implies that it is more important since the value of the resting potential has not been restored yet.</span>

There are seven known types of human coronavirus. Four common types (KHUI, OC43, NL63,229E) cause mild to moderate respiratory infection, such as the common cold. There are two types, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV) and Middle East respiratory virus syndrome (MERS-COV), that can cause acute respiratory infections. Type VII (nCOV-2019) is the newly discovered novel coronavirus in China.
