19. 2 points What type of plants (think characteristics) survive in the coniferous forest/taiga?

20. 2 points In what biome are the plants close to the ground and spread out in order to conserve water?

21. 2 points Give an example of a defense mechanism for an animal found in the deciduous forest.

25. 3 points Name one taiga food chain.

26. 3 points Name three different animal adaptations in the desert.

27. 2 points Name two dominant carnivores in the deciduous forest.

28. 2 points Does the daffodil on the bottom of the pyramid require more or less energy to live compared the rabbit?

31. 2 points Name two or more types of coniferous trees in the taiga.

32. 3 points Explain how mimicry works.

33. 2 points The further south and closer to the equator you go, the climate gets and the amount of precipitation.
