What are examples of a niche and habitat?

Answer 1

A habitat is where the organism lives; desert, jungle, ocean etc. Many organisms can live in the same habitat. The niche is the organisms role within the habitat. Niches are generally much smaller then that of the habitat.

Answer 2

The habitat of an animal is the environment lives in while the niche is the function that animal has in the environment. A blue jay is a bird that lives in forests and other areas with trees, this is their habitat. The blue jay's niche is to eat small insects and worms and to be food for larger animals such as cats.

Answer 3

A niche is the role and position of a species in nature. Someone once joked that an animal's niche is defined by what it eats, and what eats it. Usually niches are thought of more broadly, however. For example, some experts wouldn't be happy with a niche definition not defining the extremes of heat and cold, dryness and wetness, sun and shade, and other climatic factors the particular organism tolerates. They'd also want to know about the organism's reproductive cycle, and the season and time of day when it's active. In short, every aspect of a plant or animal's existence can determine its niche. Another way of looking at it is that a niche is basically an organism's "job" in nature.

Niche example: The niche of a particular fish in a freshwater lake may be that it mostly eats mosquito larvae, and serves as the main food source of fish larger than it, such as bass."

Habitats are the places plants and animals normally live. The Herring Gull's habitat is along coasts, especially in harbors and around garbage dumps, and also on lakes and rivers. The habitat of beech trees is moist, deciduous forest, and the above fish's habitat is its shallow, freshwater lake. Some important habitats are forests, grasslands, deserts, and marshes. Obviously, the concepts of "niche" and "habitat" sort of overlap, but with "niche" focusing more on the animal's "job," while "habitat" focuses more on what corner of nature the organism occupies

Answer 4

Examples of niches and habitats:

A giraffe's niche is feeding on the canopy on trees, and its habitat is the Savannah.

A squirrel's niche is eating acorns, and its habitat is the forest.

A bee's niche is making honey, pollinating flowers, and drinking nectar, and its habitat is a forest or a field.

Answer 5

The community provides the habitat-the place where particular plants or animals live. Within the habitat, organisms occupy different niches.

A niche is the functional role of a species in a community-that is, its occupation, or how it earns its living. For example, the scarlet tanager lives in a deciduous forest habitat. Its niche, in part, is gleaning insects from the canopy foliage.

Answer 6

a niche is a very small area. and a habitat is a lot bigger place

Answer 7

The difference between a habitat and a niche is that a habitat is where organisms live and a niche is an organism in the ecosystem
