Answer» A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. They can be found over a range of continents. Biomes are distinct biological communities that have formed in response to a shared physical climate.Biome is a broader term than habitat; any biome can COMPRISE a variety of HABITATS. While a biome can cover large areas, a microbiome is a MIX of ORGANISMS that coexist in a defined space on a much smaller scale. For example, the HUMAN microbiome is the collection of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that are present on or in a human body. A 'biota' is the total collection of organisms of a geographic region or a time period, from local geographic scales and instantaneous temporal scales all the way up to whole-planet and whole-timescale spatiotemporal scales. The biotas of the Earth make up the biosphere.Explanation: |
