How do temperate forest and taiga leaves trees survive in their respective biomes? a. the temperate leaves are thin to minimize absorption of sunlight, while the taiga leaves are specialized to store water during the dry season. b. the temperate leaves are broad and flat to maximize sunlight absorption, while the taiga leaves are long and thin to minimize sunlight absorption. c. the temperate leaves shed water during the wet season, while the taiga leaves can enter long periods of dormancy during colder weather. d. the temperate leaves grow in the spring and shed in the cold, while the taiga leaves are dark and wax-coated to prevent the tree from freezing.

  The correct answer for this question is D

The temperate forest occurs across north America, Europe and Asia. This biome consist of evergreen conifers with needle like leaves which are able to tolerate wide fluctuation of temperature and light.  Some vegetation of temperate biome are Pine, Fir and Hemlock. The trees and shrubs of temperate forest usually shed their leaves with the onset of autumn and new leaves are produced in early spring

Taiga is the Russian word for forest and is the largest biome in the world. This biome contain mostly coniferous trees. These conifers contain long, thin waxy needles. The wax gives them protection against freezing temperature and from drying out. They do not sheds their leaves in winter and keep their needles all year long.

the answer is c. it will give up it's valence electron to the other atom.

its temperature is increasing. this causes molecular vibrations to increase.
