Please read the following scenario to answer the following question(s).
Salmon eggs hatch in freshwater streams and, during the first year of their life, the young salmon migrate up to 1,000 km to the ocean. They spend varying amounts of time in the ocean (ranging up to five years), where they feed and grow, rapidly acquiring more than 95% of their biomass during this period. During the summer of their maturing year, they begin the long journey back to their home streams where they spawn. Although it is still uncertain how salmon navigate back to their spawning grounds, current hypotheses suggest that they have a highly developed sense of smell. At the spawning grounds, females use their tails to form a hollow cavity where they lay up to 8,000 eggs. The male fertilizes the eggs, and both adults typically die soon thereafter.
-At different times in their lives,salmon can be found in all of the following except ______.
A) a freshwater biome
B) a chaparral
C) the pelagic realm
D) an estuary

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Salmon can be found in freshwater biomes during the first year of their life and in the ocean during their maturing years. They also return to freshwater streams for spawning. They can also be found in estuaries, which are the transition areas between rivers and the ocean. However, they are not typically found in the chaparral biome, which is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Therefore, the correct answer is B) a chaparral.
