Describe three variations
you would observe as
you travel south from a
taiga into a temperate
forest.

Answer;

When we will travel south from a taiga into a temperate forest we will observe 1. Increased precipitation as in taiga the prevailing climatic conditions are still harsh with less rain fall where as in temperate forest precipitation ranges from about 70 to 150 cm annually. 2. Increase in temperature as taiga has long, severe winters and short, mild summers whereas the average temperature in temperate forest is around 50 degree Celsius. 3. Change towards hardwood (deciduous) trees as Taiga, forms an almost continuous belt of coniferous trees worldwide whereas Temperate or deciduous forests are dominated by broad-leaved hardwood trees

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
