Agroup of hikers wants to visit a biome that is between the polar and tropical regions. which biome should they visit? a. desert b. tundra c. temperate deciduous forest d. rainforest e. coniferous forest

The correct answer is - C. temperate deciduous forest.

If a group of hikers want to visit a biome that is located between the polar and the tropical biomes, than the temperate deciduous forest will be the best choice, as it is roughly in the middle between those two, and is not part of any of them.

The temperate deciduous forest biome is located in the mid-latitudes. It is characterized with forests that are dominated by deciduous trees, which mean that the trees are getting rid of the leaves in autumn, and than regrow them back in the spring. There's four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The summers are relatively warm and drier, the spring and autumn are usually fresh with more rainfall, and the winters are cold and snowy.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
