2. What is habitat ?

3. The animals and plants in a habitat are interdependent

4. In what Ways do plants depend on animals ? Plants can make their own food. The do not depend on animals for food. However,to grow healthily, they Need nutrients from the soil or water in which they grow When animals die,they are broken down into simpler substances by decomposers such as Bactria and fungi. These simpler substances such as mineral salts are nutrients for the plants.

5. Pollination Flowering plants depend on animals for reproduction as well.In the reproduction of flowering plants, pollen from the male parts of flowers has to be transferred to the female parts of flowers. This process is called poliination.Some insects, help in pollination

6. Dispersal of Seeds Besides pollination, some animals help in dispersal of seeds. Seeds are dispersed or scattered far away from the parent plants or other seeds to prevent overcrowding so that the young plants which develop from the seeds do not need to complete for light Animal-dispersed fruits are more common than wind- dispersed fruits and occur in species with a wider variety of life forms, including herbs, many vines, a modest number of tropical lianas, and shrubs as well as some trees.

7. Animals in a habitat are suited to live to their environment Living things have special characterizes to enable them to survive the living conditions in their habitats. They have adaptations which enhance their survival. We say that they are suited to their environment. Eagles, hawks, and owls have very sharp beaks as well as talons. Many of them use their talons to grab prey animals. Next they use the sharp points of their beaks to bite the animal at the base of the skull or in the neck to kill it. Eagles don't bother with that when they're carrying a fish, but ones that learn to hunt rabbits or ducks may do so. Although an eagle's beak is strong, powerful, and huge, it rarely if ever carries sticks or fish in its beak.

8. Adaptations to low Temperature Penguins are adapted to live in and near the ocean because they eat fish. They have special adaptations that allow them to live in the water. Penguins have webbed feet to help them swim faster, and their vision is believed to be better underwater than on land. They cannot fly in air because their wings are too small for their body weight, but their wings are adapted to help them live and dive in the water. The penguin is simply unable to create enough energy to take off. Penguins' wing bones are fused straight, rather than angled like a flying bird's, and this has the effect of making the wing rigid and powerful, like a flipper. The small wings and a streamlined body shape are ideal for diving in water.

9. Adaptations to the amount of light While some animals are active during the day others are active at night.Some of these nocturnal animals,such as owls have large eyes which are sensitive too small amounts of light.These adaptations help them too see well at night.So that they can move around and catch their prey or escaped from danger.

10. Adaptation for moving in water Many types of fishes have streamlined body is one which has a narrow pointed head and end while the middle of the body is bigger and broader.A streamlined body shape helps a fish to move easily through water by reducing frictiction between its body and the water Sharks have several means of sensing prey. Their snouts are covered with ampullaceal of Lorenzini, sensory organs that pick up electrical signals from potential prey. Their inner ears perceive nearby movement, and lateral lines -- parallel rows of scales that run down the shark’s body -- note abnormal movements and currents that might signal the presence of potential food.

11. Adaptations for breathing in water The blue whale has many adaptations that allow it to survive in its environment. The blue whale not only has blubber for warmth, and a streamline shape for swimming, but it is a mammal that lives in the water. The blue whale has an adaptation that does not allow it to sleep. If they slept, they would drown. So, they take short naps instead of long slumbers. The blue whale, to eat, has baleen plates that are used to filter the small shrimp-like krill that they feed on. Being mammals, they have also formed mammary glands to feed their young with. Being mammals allows the blue whale to have extended parental care for their young. Being so big, the whale has an extremely large fluke, which allows it to propel itself through the water at a decent speed, which can be about 30 miles per hour to escape dangerous situations. The blue whale's eyesight is good in the water, and out of the water but the sense that is the best is the hearing. They use vocalizations to communicate with other whales. Since they are under water, and the water is denser than air, it transfers sound fast and longer than air. These adaptations have made it easier for these large mammals to live in water as opposed to living on land.
