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.
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.
Keywords
