37. Which of the following statements best describes the effect of climate on biome distribution? a. Average annual temperature and precipitation are sufficient to predict which biome will be found in an area b. Seasonal fluctuation of temperature is not a limiting factor in biome distribution if areas have the same annual temperature and precipitation means c. The average climate and pattern of climate are important in determining biome distribution d. Temperate forests and grasslands are different biomes because they receive a different quality and quantity of sunlight, even though they have essentially the same annual temperature and precipitation

Which of the following best describes how does latitude affect biomes? Latitudes affect how much rainfall a biome will receive. Lower latitude biomes will always have high temperature. Higher latitudes produce warm biomes. Higher latitudes receive less sunlight producing cold biomes.

Which statement about biomes is true? A. Biomes describe communities of plants that are geographically close to each other. B. Plants within a given biome often have very different temperature and moisture requirements. C. Species composition of biomes is largely determined by the physiological tolerances of plants. D. There are more biome types with cool average temperatures than warm average temperatures.
