Community & Habitat
The place where a plant or animal lives and gets its needs met.
What is a habitat?
A physical or behavioral feature that helps an animal survive.
What is an adaptation?
Planting trees in a deforested area is an example of…
What is a positive human impact?
An animal that eats only plants.
What is a herbivore?
Shows how energy moves from one organism to another.
What is a food chain?
A group of different species living together in the same area.
What is a community?
Name one adaptation that helps animals hide from predators.
Camouflage, mimicry, burrowing, etc.
Pollution, littering, and deforestation are examples of…
What are negative human impacts?
An animal that eats only meat.
What is a carnivore?
A diagram showing many interconnected food chains is called a…
What is a food web?
Name three resources a habitat provides to help living things survive.
Food, water, shelter, air, or space.
This adaptation helps animals survive in cold environments.
Thick fur, blubber, or fat layer
Explain how humans can help protect habitats.
Clean rivers, plant trees, create wildlife reserves, reduce pollution, etc.
An animal that eats both plants and meat.
What is an omnivore?
Name the roles: producer, consumer, decomposer.
Producer = makes its own food (plants), Consumer = eats other organisms (animals), Decomposer = breaks down dead organisms (fungi, bacteria)
True or False: Every habitat provides all needs for all organisms equally.
False.
Explain why a bird’s beak shape is an adaptation.
It helps the bird eat specific foods it needs to survive.
List one way humans can harm a forest habitat. Explain how it affects animals or plants.
Cutting down trees → animals lose shelter
Give an example of each: herbivore, carnivore, omnivore.
Rabbit (herbivore), Fox (carnivore), Bear (omnivore)
Identify the producer in this food chain: Grass → Rabbit → Fox
Grass
This is a factor that limits the number of organisms in a habitat.
What is a limiting factor?
Name an adaptation that helps plants survive in dry habitats.
Deep roots, waxy leaves, small leaves, storing water
Name two ways humans can affect animal populations, including one that might endanger a species and one that introduces a new species to an area.
Endangered species example: Hunting, habitat destruction, pollution → reduces population, can lead to extinction
Invasive species example: Bringing plants/animals from another area → competes with native species, disrupts food webs
Explain why knowing an animal’s diet is important for understanding its habitat.
It shows what food it needs, its role in the food chain, and how it interacts with other species
Fill in the blanks: Energy moves from _______ → _______ → _______.
Producer → Herbivore (or primary consumer) → Carnivore (or secondary consumer)
