The plant in the following photograph has several features that allow it to survive in cold, dry climates, including a low-growing stem that keeps it out of the wind. The stem is also covered in silky hairs that help trap in heat.


In which biome would you most likely find this plant? (2 points)



chaparral


savanna


temperate forest


tundra

Answer 1

My guess is that it is tundra, but i'm not completely sure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

The plants that grows in the tundra region are generally very short and are mostly less than a height of 1 feet. The soils are not rich in essential nutrients that is required by the plants. They are mostly comprised of organic materials.

Due to the presence of short stem, it helps the plants to capture heat from the dark colored soil. This heat helps them from getting freezed. One of the advantage of short plants is that wind and cold cannot affect them much. The roots of these plants are very short as they cannot extend wide and broadly due to the presence of permafrost layer.

Examples of these plants are grasses, mosses and lichens.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
