What is the reproduction of the plants there?
Plants spread their seeds to reproduce Soil is permanently frozen(permafrost) Needs to thaw out in order to be reproduced
![Page 4: The Tundra](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816620550346895dd97438/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What are the types of plants that live in this area and what are they like?
Lichens, mosses: grow close to ground and out of cold wind
Mosses: thick, green, and tightly packed
Lichens: made of 2 organisms( fungus, green algae)
![Page 5: The Tundra](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816620550346895dd97438/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is the growing season here?
Flowers, shrubs grow in Summer Mosses and lichens grow in Winter due
to ground closeness to not be hurt

The Effects of the land Mining and
drilling- pollute
Hunters Construction
trucks, bulldozers- expose permafrost and melts it

SO THAT’S THE PLANT LIFE NOW LETS MOVE ON TO ZACH WITH THE WEATHER

What is an example of a food chain that lives here?
Secondary Consumers:Snowy OwlsArctic Fox
Primary Consumers:Insectslemmings
Primary Producers:GrassesSedgeswillows

Describe the adaptations that the organisms have to make in order to survive Hide under snow Grow thick fur or
extra fat layers(blubber)
Migrate or stay and sleep
Use long wings to catch prey
Wrap fuzzy tail around body
Long claws
![Page 29: The Tundra](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816620550346895dd97438/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Describe any symbiotic relationships that may occur in this biome: mutualism Lichens= made
of fungus and green algae
Algae gives sugars that fungus eats
Fungus provides protection by retaining water and obtaining minerals
![Page 30: The Tundra](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816620550346895dd97438/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Parasitism Liver tapeworm
cysts Grow in
animals( moose, caribou)
Feed on food eaten by animal
Then gives malnutrition to animal( host)
![Page 31: The Tundra](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816620550346895dd97438/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Commensalism
Caribou feed on lichens during coldness
Arctic Fox follows Caribou digs for mammals When done, fox digs
deeper for more Caribou= unaffected,
fox= gets food with caribous hunting help
