Natural Habitats
Biology · 50 practice questions
Aquatic habitats (ponds, streams, lakes, seashores, mangrove swamps); terrestrial/arboreal habitats (tree-tops, farmland, savanna, burrows).
- Associate plants and animals with each type of habitat.
- Relate adaptive features of organisms to the habitats in which they live.
Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
A rock pool, found within the intertidal zone, specifically supports organisms adapted to withstand
- A.a factor entirely unrelated to periodic exposure to air of any kind
- B.periodic exposure to air as the tide recedes
- C.a completely constant, unchanging level of submersion at all times
- D.freshwater conditions exclusively, with no tidal influence at all
Show the answer
B. periodic exposure to air as the tide recedes
A rock pool, found within the intertidal zone, specifically supports organisms adapted to withstand periodic exposure to air.
- Practice question 2
An arboreal habitat specifically refers to an environment in which organisms live mainly
- A.on or among trees
- B.a factor entirely unrelated to living on or among trees of any kind
- C.permanently submerged in a body of standing water
- D.buried underground, rather than on or among any trees
Show the answer
A. on or among trees
An arboreal habitat specifically refers to an environment in which organisms live mainly on or among trees.
- Practice question 3
Habitat selection specifically describes the active process by which an organism
- A.a factor entirely unrelated to choosing a suitable area to live in
- B.chooses a suitable area in which to live
- C.is prevented entirely from ever choosing any particular area at all
- D.is physically transported, without any choice, into an unsuitable area
Show the answer
B. chooses a suitable area in which to live
Habitat selection specifically describes the active process by which an organism chooses a suitable area in which to live.
