Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
An organism's ecological niche mainly refers to
- A.its specific role and position within its ecosystem
- B.the exact physical location where the organism lives
- C.the market price fetched by that organism's produce

- A.lower rainfall and grassland vegetation, suited to crops like millet and guinea corn
- B.very high rainfall and dense rainforest
- C.permanent ice cover year-round
