Do some research on what the annual rainfall and temperature should typically look like for your biome. Then, draw a graph of the annual rainfall and temperature for your biome. Take a picture of your graph and attach it here. Please cite your sources using this tool and paste your citations below.

List and describe (in your own words) the abiotic factors in your biome. Please cite your sources using this tool and paste your citations below. Cold and Strong Wind Snow Temperature Permafrost Little sunlight Soil Rocks Rain Permafrost is everywhere in the Arctic Tundra, making it the most significant abiotic factor in the biome. Temperature, snow, soil, rain, rocks, and strong winds are abiotic as it is not living. Sun doesn’t reach much in the tundras since it is in the northern hemisphere and at the top of the world.

Predator/Prey Definition: A predator is an organism that hunts and a prey is what the predator is hunting for food. Example from your biome: Wolves hunting caribous Why these organisms fit in the “Predator/Prey” category: Wolves hunt for food and caribous is their food and lower in the food chain. “PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONSHIPS.” NEW ENGLAND COMPLEX SYSTEMS INSTITUTE , necsi.edu/predator-prey-relationships#:~:text=A%20predator%20is%20an%20organism,organism%20which%20the%20predar or%20eats.&text=The%20words%20%22predator%22%20and%20%22,and%20lettuce%2C%20grasshopper%20and%20leaf.

Mutualism Definition: When organisms benefit off of each other Example from your biome: Lichen and fungus Why these organisms fit in the “Mutualism” category: Lichen lives in the fungus, giving it sugar and oxygen. The fungus provides protection to the lichen and collects salt and water for it’s cells. This shows that they both benefit off of each other.

Commensalism Definition: When one organism benefits off of another organism but that organism does not benefit from the other. Example from your biome: Caribou and fox Why these organisms fit in the “Commensalism” category: While the caribou is eating the lichen, it digs up the soil which slightly exposes the small animals underground. This helps the fox as it can finish digging up the small animals and eat them. This doesn’t affect the caribou but does for the fox.

Example from your biome: Tapeworm cysts and wolves Why these organisms fit in the “Parasitism” category: The tapeworm feeds off of the wolf but the wolf becomes malnutrition in the process.
