Chapter 39, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The adaptation of desert and polar ice animals to the climate of their respective biomes.
Concept introduction:
In the desert biome rainfall does not occur. This limits the growth of plants. Desert biome is found in both regions of temperate and tropical. The polar ice cap biome usually covered by ice. This biome is usually found in Antartica and Arctic ocean.
