Abiome is not characterized by which of the following?
precipitation
latitude
number of organisms
temperature

number of organisms

Explanation:

The biome can be defined as a set of plant and animal life, constituted by the grouping of contiguous types of vegetation and which can be identified at regional level, with similar conditions of geology and climate and which, historically, have suffered the same formation processes of the landscape, resulting in a diversity of its own flora and fauna.

The number of living organisms is not a factor that characterizes the biome, however precipitation, latitude and temperature are important for the characterization.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.

explanation:

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
