Habitats Niche Quiz

What is a habitat?

• A type of food that an organism eats

• The process of an organism adapting to its environment

• The natural environment in which an organism lives

• The time of day when an organism is most active

Explain the concept of niche in an ecosystem.

• The process of a species adapting to its environment

• The specific role or function of a species within its environment

• The physical location where a species lives

• The number of offspring produced by a species

Give an example of a specific niche in a forest habitat.

• Epiphytes

• Polar bears

• Desert cacti

• Lions

How do organisms adapt to their specific niche in a habitat?

• Natural selection, genetic variation, and behavioral changes

• Eating only one type of food

• Moving to a different habitat

• Changing their physical appearance

What are the different types of habitats?

• Polar, tropical, temperate, arid

• Urban, suburban, rural, industrial

• Mountain, valley, plateau, island

• Terrestrial, aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra

Describe the niche of a polar bear in its habitat.

• Herbivore feeding on insects and small rodents

• Scavenger feeding on dead fish and plants

• Primary consumer feeding on grass and berries

• Top predator feeding on seals and other marine mammals

Why is it important for organisms to have a specific niche in a habitat?

• To reduce competition for resources and allow for the coexistence of different species.

• To allow for the domination of one species over all others.

• To create a more chaotic and unstable environment.

• To increase competition for resources and eliminate other species.

Explain the concept of competition within a niche.

• The cooperation between organisms in the same ecological niche

• The struggle for resources among organisms occupying the same ecological niche.

• The sharing of resources among organisms in different ecological niches

• The absence of competition in an ecological niche

How does human activity impact the niche of organisms in their habitats?

• Human activity can alter the niche of organisms in their habitats by changing their food sources, habitat, and interactions with other species.

• Human activity has no impact on the niche of organisms

• Organisms can easily adapt to changes caused by human activity

• Human activity has a positive impact on the niche of organisms

Discuss the role of conservation in preserving habitats and niches.

• Destroying habitats and niches is necessary for progress

• Habitats and niches are better off without conservation efforts

• Conservation helps protect habitats and niches by preventing destruction and managing resources sustainably.

• Conservation has no impact on habitats and niches
