describe the factors that affect plant and wildlife resources​  

The factors that affect plant and wildlife resources are

1. Latitude: The warmer latitudes near the equator has much more plant and wildlife that the colder latitudes near the poles.
2. Altitude: Areas closer to the sea level have more plant and wildlife than areas at a higher altitude.
3. Rainfall: Areas with more rainfall supports more plants and wildlife.
4. Climate: The climate of a region depends upon latitude, altitude and rainfall.

Explain the factors that affect the distribution of plant and animal species. Using examples from the living world Different species of plants and animals require different factors in order for it to survive. Positive factors could encourage the growth of different species, hence alter the distribution as species struggle to survive, vice versa negative factors would decrease the growth of species in the area. Species of plants possesses characteristics that allow it to survive in certain conditions. This is why the distributions of plants vary from one area to another. Each species must be able to successfully capture these resources and use them to acquire energy and biomass for growth and reproduction. Yet resources are limited in natural environments, so plants face selective pressure for growth performance without excessive use of resources One of the factors that affect the distribution of plants is temperature. Most species of plant live in moderate temperature zones  is due to the fact that the enzymes, biological catalyst which speed up reaction in plant cells work at the best rate in an optimum temperature.
