Which of the following is an example of a microhabitat?

• A rainforest where thousands of trees are growing

• a leaking water pipe where algae is growing

• The Atlantic Ocean where different communities grow

What best defines a microhabitat

• a place where small organisms live

• a small place where living things live

• a place with specific conditions where organisms survive

• an area where biotic and abiotic factors interact

An ecosystem with MORE biodiversity will

• be less sustainable

• have no effect at sustainability

• will increase then decrease sustainability

• be more sustainable
