Biome represents ________.
A
A desert vegetation
B
A major ecological group of plants
C
A large ecological region characterised by similar vegetation and climate
D
A major ecological group of animals
Correct Answer: A large ecological region characterised by similar vegetation and climate
Biome represents a large ecological region characterised by similar vegetation and climate. Biomes are large-scale environments that are distinguished by characteristic temperature ranges and amounts of precipitation. These two variables affect the types of vegetation and animal life that can exist in those areas. Because each biome is defined by climate, the same biome can occur in geographically distinct areas with similar climates
