The taiga or boreal forests are the largest biome in the world. These can be found in the regions of North America, Alaska, and United States. These regions exhibit extreme weather conditions. Typically long winters and moderate to high precipitation. The soil is permafrost and nutrient poor as no new organic matter can be added up to the soil due to it's freezing condition. The plant growth is scanty and biodiversity is low because organisms are incapable of surviving in the harsh weather conditions.
The endocrine system is made of glands that secrete hormones. These hormones help regulate the organs and cells activity. The hormones among other things control your metabolism.
