Objectives:
1. Identify biomes that are important for human activities and biodiversity protection.
2. Describe the characteristics of each biomes.
3. Describe how animals adapt to the different biomes.
4. Describe some of the endangered animals found in the Philippines.
One of the factors that can affect the different location of the Earth climate. The
first one is Latitude because it can change the climate, because it is related to the
length and intensity of sunlight an area receives. For example when the specific
continent is closer to the sun well those regions or continent will receive extremely
hotter climate rather than the North pole area. The second reason why other places or
location of the Earth experiencing different climate it's because of the effect or the
influence of the different type of biomes.
The country that experience four seasons are Canada, Australia, China, France,
Korea, Romania, Switzerland and Greece since these nations, are neither near the
poles.
The plants have ingredients to survived these components are sunlight, water,
carbon dioxide, specific place to grow for example forest, trees, house and soon, and
nutrients. They also converted or use these components to create their food in the
process of photosynthesis. Plants require different components to survive because some
of the plants need specific temperature, pH level, and day length.
6. What are living organisms in the deciduous forest inactive during winter?
There are changes of the organism in the deciduous forest during winter because
when winter occur in this biome the organism or the plants and animals needs to adapt
the temperature to survive is like related to the survival of the fittest the who fits the one
will persist for a longer time.
7. What is adaptation?
8. What are the underlying socioeconomic forces and circumstances driving biodiversity
loss?
Multiple, interacting drivers almost always cause changes in biodiversity and in
ecosystems. A range of drivers causes biodiversity change. A driver is any natural or
human-induced factor that directly or indirectly causes a change in an ecosystem. A direct
driver unequivocally influences ecosystem processes. An indirect driver operates more
diffusely, by altering one or more direct drivers. Important direct drivers affecting
biodiversity are habitat change, climate change, invasive species, overexploitation, and
pollution.

9. According to McNeil and Shie (2000) ‘’Biodiversity is the life insurance of life itself’’.
Why? Explain.
I can say that Biodiversity encompasses the variety of all life on earth. The
biodiversity we see today is the outcome of over 3.5 billion years of evolutionary history,
shaped by natural processes and increasingly, by the influence of humans. Biodiversity
forms the web of life of which we are an integral part and upon which we so entirely
depend.
Since today we are now in the timeline of modern technology this modernization
affects the biodiversity regarding the human needs because the increase of population
requires an increase of needs regarding food habitat. As we go deeper biodiversity adopts
the modernization to support our needs, and I can say that because of the modernization
the biodiversity is getting damaged because of our demand for needs. We should take
good care of our biodiversity by replacing what we gain by planting trees recycle the waste
we produce and convert it to a useful tool.
