Home sweet Habitat an Adaptation
- The natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism. "wild chimps in their natural
habitat" Or classified as a person's usual or preferred surroundings.
- Habitats in general
- Habitat is dictated by what kinds of plants grow there, the climate
and the geography. Rainforest, coral reefs and the tundra are all
habitats where particular kinds of plants and animals might be found.

- Quadrats
- It would be impossible to count all the plants in a habitat, so a
sample is taken. A tool called a quadrat is often used in sampling
plants. It marks off an exact area so that the plants in that area can
be identified and counted.
- Quadrats should be placed randomly so that a representative sample is taken you should look at the
results from several quadrats in an area to reduce the effect of an unusual distribution the results are
more reliable when you look at the results from many quadrats quadrats may also be used for slow moving
animals such as snails/slugs

- Adaptation
- Changes in the body to fit a location!
- An adaptation is a special skill which helps an animal to survive and do everything it needs to do.
Adaptations could be physical changes to the animals body or behavioural changes in how an
individual animal or a society do things in their daily lives.

- Predators and Prey
- A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which
the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and
fish, and fox and rabbit. The words "predator" and "prey" are almost always used to
mean only animals that eat animals, but the same concept also applies to plants: Bear
and berry, rabbit and lettuce, grasshopper and leaf.
- Predator and prey evolve together. The prey is part of the predator's environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves
whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight,
or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey's poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc.
Likewise, the predator is part of the prey's environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to
avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns,
poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc.

- Food web and Food chains
- A food chain hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food. 2.
the series of processes by which food is grown or produced, sold, and eventually consumed.
- A food web is a system of interlocking and interdependent food
chains.
