Habitat and Adaptation

The video explores Annie's visit to the zoo, focusing on the concept of habitats, which are natural environments where living organisms find food, water, shelter, and a suitable environment to reproduce. It explains how organisms adapt to their habitats through changes in body structure or behavior. The video classifies habitats into terrestrial and aquatic types, providing examples of each. It also distinguishes between biotic components (living organisms) and abiotic components (non-living elements like rocks and water) within a habitat. The video concludes with a recap of these key concepts.

What is a habitat?

• A place where animals are kept in captivity

• A natural environment where organisms find resources to live

• A man-made environment for human activities

• A type of food that animals eat

How do animals adapt to their habitats?

• By altering their body structure or behavior

• By becoming nocturnal

• By migrating to different habitats

• By changing their diet

Which of the following is an example of a terrestrial habitat?

• Lake

• Desert

• River

• Ocean

What is an aquatic habitat?

• A habitat in water

• A habitat on land

• A habitat in the air

• A habitat underground

Which of the following is considered an abiotic component of a habitat?

• Insects

• Rocks

• Animals

• Plants

What are biotic components?

• Weather conditions in a habitat

• Living organisms in a habitat

• Non-living things in a habitat

• Man-made structures in a habitat

How do abiotic components affect living organisms?

• They provide food for animals

• They influence the growth and survival of organisms

• They have no effect on living organisms

• They create shelter for animals
