Niche – Adaptation Activity
Use the picture of the organism given to you to answer the following questions in your
lab notebook.
1. What is this organism’s habitat (where does it live)? Be as specific as you can.
2. What is this organism’s niche (it’s role in an environment)? Name at least three
things it does.
3. What adaptations does this organism possess that allow it to occupy this habitat
and niche (name at least three things)?
4. What would happen to the ecosystem if you suddenly tripled the number of
organisms that normally occupy the same space? (at least three steps)
5. What would happen to the ecosystem if you suddenly wiped out all of the
members of this species?
