Question

Which of the following statement is true about a biome?

• A. It has the same type of ecosystem
• B. Climate will vary from region to region in a biome
• C. We cannot determine which biome an organism belongs to, by studying the characteristic features of the organism.
• D. Biodiversity varies from one biome to another

Answer 1

The correct option is D Biodiversity varies from one biome to another

A Biomes is a very large ecological area with similar kind of fauna and flora depending on the climate of the biome. They are primarily defined by abiotic factors such as climate, relief, geology, soil and vegetation.
A biome can have many different types of ecosystems, although a biome can also be considered an ecosystem.
The flora and fauna found in a biome are characteristic to the biome, therefore we can determine which biome an organism belongs to based on its characteristic features.
Biodiversity is higher in the rainforest biome, compared to a desert biome or the tundra biome, therefore biodiversity varies from one biome to another.
