NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each organism plays a particular role in its ecosystem. A niche is the role a species plays in the ecosystem. In other words, a niche is how an organism“makes a living.” A niche will include the organism’s role in the flow of energy through the ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -No two species can have the exact same niche, otherwise they would be in direct competition for resources with one another. If this occurs, then one species will outcompete the other. If the losing species then does not adapt, it would lead to its extinction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Description. A habitat is the place where an organism lives while a niche is that organism’s role within that environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -The niche concept is one of the core concepts in ecology and has been rediscovered by modern ecology for explaining biodiversity and species coexistence patterns (Pocheville, 2015). The niche-based theory states that an ecological community is made up of a limited number of niches, each occupied by a single species.

Detailed explanation-5: -A habitat is a particular place where organisms live, i.e. address. A niche defines a specific role played by organisms in an ecosystem, i.e. profession. Habitat is not species-specific, and many species can occupy the same habitat. Niche is species-specific, and it supports only a single species.
