Question

Which of the following information could be included in the description of a grasshopper’s niche, but not in a description of its habitat?
Question 7 options:

continent where it lives

locations where it shelters

plant species it eats

temperatures it experiences

Answer 1

The niche of grasshopper would include the plant species it eats.

Explanation:

The niche of an organism is different to that of a habitat. A niche includes the interaction between organisms and the food that they eat, whereas, a habitat is a place where organisms are provided with food, protection and shelter.

Habitat is a place of ecosystem that involves other environmental factors like- rain, sunlight, humidity etc. So, food type eaten by grasshopper would be the description of a niche and not a habitat.
