Alpine Tundra and Forest Biomes

This section explores the distinct characteristics of mountain ecosystems and forest biomes, highlighting their unique features and inhabitants.

Definition: Alpine Tundra is characterized by cold, dry conditions with permafrost present most of the year, typically found at mountain elevations.

The Coniferous Forest TaigaTaiga presents specific adaptations:

Example: Evergreen trees with needles dominate this biome, supporting wildlife such as moose, red fox, and bears.

The Temperate Deciduous Forest features:

Highlight: Large hardwood trees including oak, birch, and ash thrive here, supporting diverse wildlife like deer, beaver, and rabbits.

Grasslands are characterized by:

Vocabulary: Deep-rooted grasses and fertile soil make these regions ideal for supporting both wild animals and agricultural activities.

Desert and Rainforest Biomes

This section contrasts the extreme conditions of deserts with the biodiversity of rainforests, while also covering ocean and chaparral biomes.

Definition: Deserts are characterized by minimal rainfall and hot, arid climates, supporting specialized life forms like cacti, scorpions, and snakes.

Rainforest characteristics include:

Highlight: Despite covering only 6% of Earth's surface, rainforests house 90% of all species, primarily near the equator.

Ocean biomes:

Example: Covering 70% of Earth's surface, oceans support diverse marine life including sharks, fish, and coral reefs.

Chaparral regions:

Vocabulary: These areas experience hot summers and cold, rainy winters, often affected by wildfires.

Microhabitats

This section focuses on the smallest scale of ecological communities within larger biomes.

Definition: A microhabitat is a very small part of the environment that supports specific plants and animals.

Example: The area under a rock represents a microhabitat, providing shelter and resources for small organisms.

Highlight: Understanding microhabitats is crucial for comprehending biodiversity at the smallest scale within larger ecosystems.

Introduction to Biomes

Biomes represent large-scale ecological communities defined by their distinctive plant and animal populations. This fundamental concept in ecology encompasses both terrestrial and aquatic environments across the globe.

Definition: A biome is a large community of plants and animals occupying a distinct region of the world.

Highlight: Major biome classifications include deserts, forests, tundra, grasslands, and aquatic ecosystems.

The Arctic biome receives special attention due to its extreme conditions:

Example: The Arctic biome features a freezing climate throughout most of the year, with minimal soil development and specialized wildlife like polar bears, caribou, and seals.

Vocabulary: Adaptation refers to the physical or behavioral characteristics that help organisms survive in their specific environment.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Anna

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
