Terrestial Biomes
8 major terrestrial biomes
Tropical Rainforest : are found in equator regions. Are most biodiverse
terrestrial biome.temperature ranging 20 to 34 C.(and 68 F TO 93 F).
Subtropical Desert : exist between 15 and 30 north south latitude are
centered on the tropic of cancer and the tropic Capricorn. Desert are
Frequently located on the downwind or lee side of mountain ranges.
Temperature 60 to 140 c. (0 to 32 F).of
Chaparral : is also called scrub forest is found in california along the
Meditteranean sea and southern cost of Australia. Annual rainfall 65 cm
to 75 cm.
Temperate Grassland :are found throughout north America where they
are also known as prairies . in Australia steppes. Annual range 25.4 cm
to 88.9 cm.
Temperate Forest : are the most common biome in eastern north
America , Western Europe , Eastern Asia , Chile and New Zealand. Temp.
30 to 30 c.(22 F 86 F).
The Boreal also known taiga or coniferous forest. Is found roughly
between 50 and 60 north latitude across most of Canada, Alaska Russia
north Europe. Also found above a certain elevation.
Tundra : a lies north of the subarctic boreal forests and is located
throughout the arctic regions northern hemisphere.also exist at
elevation above the tree line on mountains.
Savanna : is an area that has a very dry season and then a very wet
season. Situated between grassland and forests. Located Africa, south
America , india ,Australia.temp. 63 F.
AUATIC BIOMES

LAKES AND PONDS :can range in the area from a few square meters to thousand
of square kilometers. Temp. is an important abiotic factor affecting living things.
River and Stream :are continously moving bodies of water that carry large
amounts of water the source.
Fresh water Wetlands : are environments in whcich the soil is either permanently
or periodically saturated with waters.
Estuaries Salt Marshes : are biomes that occur where a source of fresh water
such as a river meets the ocean.
OCEAN : The physical diversity on the ocean is a significant influence on plants ,
animals, other organism.
 Parts of the microscope
HEAD/BODY :houses the optical parts in the upper part in the upper
parts of the microscope.
Base :of the microscope supports the microscope and houses the
illuminator.
Arm :connects to the base and supports the microscope head. It also
used to carry the microscope.
Eyepiece tube : hold the eyepieces in the place above the objective
lens.
0bjective lenses : are the primary optical lenses on a microscope.The
range from 4x,100x . objectives can be forward or rear facing.
Nosepiece : houses the objects. The objectives are exposed and are
mounted on rotating turret so that objectives can be conveniently
selected.4x,10x, 100x
Coarse and fine focus knobs : are used to focus the microscope ,
increasingly they are coaxial knobs.
Stage : is where the specimen to be viewed is placed .
Stage clips : are used when where is no mechanical stage.
Aperture : is the hole in the stage through which the base light reaches
the stage.
Illuminator : is the light source for a microscope typically located in the
base of the microscope.
Condenser : is used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator
on the specimen.
Diaphragm : controls the amount of light reaching the specimen.
