28. Explain the significance or importance of the selected biome/ecosystems in your course. Why is this biome important to you? Be exhaustive in giving an answer. When people mention deserts, two things come to their minds: hot and dry. As a future chef, it is my duty to whip up dishes that can give my costumers a cooling satisfaction and at the same time enjoy the food they eat! This is my chance to invent different kinds of dishes that will help them feel cool and fight off the heat.
