Why arent ice caps or mountains considered biomes?

Ice caps and mountains are not considered biomes because they are part of the biomes. For example the mountains are high up so they are cold which means that it's biome would be grassland or tundra, depending on where it is located. Ice caps are located in other physical features like mountains, oceans, glaciers, etc. so its biome would be tundra. So basically overall biomes just describe the climate or environment of a place and mountains and ice caps are actual places therefore they cannot be biomes.

Are there any mountain ranges in new brunswick Canada?

"Maybe there are, maybe there arent"...okay then... There are, New Brunswick is almost fully in the Appalachian Mountain range (and a few of it's smaller ranges like the Caledonian range, that's near my home). The closer you get to Nova Scotia the flatter and more open the land becomes- the land just before you get to NS is absolutley flat and very windy. Here's the URL of a picture I took yesterday of some of the mountains around my home in NB- we hiked one yesterday and took some pictures from the top. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/ping-san/bluff.jpg


Why arent arthropods classified as producers?

In biological circles, the producers or autotrophs are plants and green algae, which capture energy from sunlight to produce their own food, or in other words capture carbon or carbon compounds into the food chain. By contrast, arthropods eat other organisms and are thus classified as heterotrophs, or consumers.
