Difference between photosynthesis in cold areas and desert areas
Answers
Hot and wet? You bet. Tropical rainforests are ecosystems located near the Earth's equator that receive between 60 and 160 inches of rain every year. A long rainy system? Not at all. Tropical rainforests get this rain month after month, fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. Most warm rainforests are found in South America, Southeast Asia and Africa.
The constant mild temperatures combined with ample moisture makes tropical rainforests an ideal living environment for many types of plants, insects and animals. In fact, you won't find a biome having greater biodiversity.
Dry DesertsMany people who live far from deserts consider this biome a wasteland of sand and hot, drying sunlight, with perhaps a gnarled cactus or two in the landscape. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The fact is, almost 20 percent of the planet's land is desert, and not all of them are alike. Yes, a desert, by definition, gets 10 to 20 inches of rain per year, so all are dry. But you'll find that there are various types of deserts (hot and dry, semiarid, coastal and cold), and all of them teem with amazing life. Large mammals aren't desert dwellers, mainly because they don't have a system in their bodies to store water. But smaller mammals, reptiles, insects and plant life abound.
Desert plants take up Carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate which is acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the day.
