predators, etc.
_____________________3. The concentration of available oxygen can be important limiting factor in a variety of
environments.

where they cannot.
_____________________5. Precise balance of water, dissolved salts, and organic molecules in the body fluids of
organisms must be maintained to keep the cells alive.

_____________________9. Areas with too little rainfall to support forests.
_____________________10. Occur when rainfall is rare and unpredictable (less than 30 cm) and hot or cold yet
always dry.
_____________________11. These forests grow in a wide range of temperatures and moisture conditions.
_____________________12. It is a treeless landscape located in the mountaintops or high latitudes, and the
growing season of this biome is only two to three months.
_____________________13. Free-floating photosynthetic plants, microscopic algae are essential to support the
