Question

Unlike an animal's habitat, an animal's niche can be described by all of the following except A. the job the organism has within its environment. B. the place in which the species lives. C. the way the species obtains what it needs to survive. D. the way the species obtains what it needs to reproduce.

Answer 1

A niche is the role an organism fills within its environment. What and where an animal eats are considered part of its niche. For instance, some birds, such as woodpeckers, eat insects in trees. This limits the bug population and keeps bugs from overtaking the environment.

Answer 2

The right answer is B. the place in which the species lives.
