The type of place where a species typically lives is called its _______.
a. niche | c. community |
b. habitat | d. population |

Introduction:
In the biological world, there are different places where a species of an organism lives. These places can be either too far from each other, or too close to each other. There can be some interaction between the components of these places. Different organisms depending upon their needs acquire different benefits from the place where they live.
Answer to Problem 1SQ
Correct answer:
A place where a species typically lives is called its habitat. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option b. is given as “habitat.”
A place where a species is typically found is called the habitat of that species. Any species gets the important resources that are necessary for its survival from its habitat only. There are different types of habitat where different species live. Depending on the type of habitat, species adapt themselves to survive.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “niche.”
In ecology, a niche refers to the role and the responsibilities that are performed by any species in its environment. It includes the interaction of a species with the biological and non-biological components present in its environment. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “community.”
A community comprises of different populations of different species that are present in same geographical vicinity at the same time. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “population.”
Population refers to the number of individuals that are living together in the same geographical location. The population can be varied for different areas and from time to time. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
A habitat is a place where a species typically live in an ecosystem. Thus, the correct option is b.
