Adaptations of plants and animals in different biomes
I can understand how plants and animals have adapted to live in different biomes.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Animals and plants adapt to their environments.
- Animals and plants within a biome are interdependent.
- If a single plant or animal is removed from a biome, this will affect other plants and animals within the biome.
Keywords
Biome - A biome is a large region of the world with places that have similar climates, vegetation and animals that have adapted to living there.
Adapt - Adapt means to make changes to suit different conditions.
Interdependent - Interdependent means two or more things depend on or rely on each other.
Environment - An environment is all the living things in an area, such as plants and animals, and the non-living things around them, such as air, water and soil.
Common misconception
That animals can only exist within the biomes they are native to.
Animals do thrive best in their natural habitats, however in countries all around the world there are zoos and animal centres that recreate natural conditions to allow animals to live and survive in a different biome or climate zone.
