Well they have completely different adaptations. Like the desert animals probably have tools on their body such as claws to make shelter from the weather and can probably live longer than a rain forest animal would without food or water like a camel. I hope that helped! :)

Why does a rainforest have more organisms than a desert?

Rainforests have more organisms than deserts because they receive more rainfall, have a more stable and constant temperature, and provide a diverse range of food sources and habitats. These conditions support a greater variety of plant and animal species, leading to higher biodiversity in rainforests compared to deserts.


Does an animal have more chromosomes than a plant?

possibly, different animals have different chromosome numbers, as do plants... so the chances are that yes there will be some plants that have the same amount of chromosomes as certain animals have... but they could never combine or cross with each other


How do the climate plants and animals in North America compare with those of the tropical rain forest areas on Earth with similar climates plants and animals?

North America consists of a larger variety of climates compared to tropical rainforests, which are more homogeneous. Consequently, North America has a greater diversity of plant and animal species adapted to different climatic conditions. In tropical rainforests, there is a higher concentration of unique and specialized species due to the consistent climate and abundant resources.


Who needs more food plants or animals?

Both plants and animals have varying nutritional needs. Plants require nutrients like water, sunlight, and soil minerals to grow, while animals need a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to thrive. Each is essential in its own way within the food chain.


Why can plants survive without animals but animals not with plants?

Plants CAN survive without the help of animals. Animals play a part in a plant's life by either two ways: seed reproductive transport (1), or/and fertilizer(2). For transportation, animals, such as birds, can help by eating a berry off of a berry plant. When they travel away from the area and produce waste from the foods, the seed droppings are in the waste material, which lands onto soil and soon another berry plant will grow. The other ways is a little more complex; plants, for example, grass, can get their soil more nutrients by having other animals such as cows to produce more waste. This manure contains rich ingredients to help the grass grow better. Overall, plants CAN survive without the help of animals. But if they DO get help, such as transport or soil nutrients, they have more chance of living longer.

Deserts cover much more of the earth's surface than do rainforests.


Tropical rainforests have high what compared to deserts?

Tropical rainforests contain more/higher biodiversity than deserts since their conditions are a lot more ideal for the growth of organisms.


Are there more animals in the deserts or rain forest?

Rainforests typically have a higher diversity of animal species compared to deserts. While deserts can host a variety of adapted species, the dense vegetation and complex ecosystems of rainforests support a greater number of animals, including many that are not found elsewhere. Additionally, rainforests are home to a wide range of insects, birds, mammals, and reptiles, contributing to their status as one of the most biodiverse habitats on Earth.


Are monkeys more likely found in deserts or rainforests?

In the rainforest.


Which ecosystem has more of plants and animals?

Tropical rainforests typically have a higher biodiversity of plants and animals compared to other ecosystems. This is due to their warm and wet climate, which provides ideal conditions for a wide variety of species to thrive.

What animals live in the same habitat as the green tree python?

The Green Tree Python (Morelia virdis) lives in rainforests and more than half of the world's plants and animals are found there. Therefore animals like primates, felids, chameleons and plants like ferns, orchids and carnivorous plants live there.

It means that there are more life forms (kinds of animals and plants) in rainforests than anywhere else.


Does chemical weathering occur faster in deserts than in rainforest?

No, chemical weathering tends to occur faster in rainforests than in deserts. This is because rainforests have higher temperatures, more abundant water supply, and higher levels of organic material that can accelerate the chemical weathering process compared to the arid conditions of deserts.


What if Earth had no desert?

If the Earth had no deserts, the USA would be moist and have only plains, mountains and forests with much more. Cactus may have a possibility for no existence. There would be more precipitation then usual.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If Earth had no deserts, the animals and plants that live only in deserts, hot or cold, today would not be here.


Why are deserts sandy?

Not all deserts are sandy, though many are.Sand is made primarily of silicon and oxygen.If you look at the elemental composition of the Earth's crust, guess what the top two elements are? Did you guess silicon and oxygen? Ding ding ding! Together they make up around two-thirds of the entire crust. So: we should expect to find a lot of sand, and indeed we do.We don't notice it as much outside of deserts, because there are more plants and animals there. More plants and animals = more dead plants and animals = more decomposing organic matter = more soil, which gets mixed with the sand and makes it less obvious.To make it simple since the climate of deserts are dry, rocks are weathered to sand and it doesnt turn to mud
