Question

what are the different means by which organisms adopt to their habitat.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter from the weather and place to breed its young. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive.

Answer 2

Adaptation theory, commonly known as the survival of the fittest theory, refers to an organism's ability to adapt to its surroundings and adjust over time.

Explanation:

• According to adaptation theory, habitat change results in three further changes: habitat tracking, genetic change, and extinction.
• Habitat tracking is the process of organisms that used to exist in the environment looking for an environment that is similar to the one they used to live in.
• Extinction: Species that are unable to adapt to their new environment or move out and find a new home eventually die out and become extinct.
• Natural selection permits organisms with minor alterations to thrive in an environment better than other species in the same area.
