Objective: Learn How Habitat and Niche Differ Key Words: Niche, Habitat, Bullfrog A mature bullfrog catches insects, worms, spiders, small fish, or even mice. Predators such as herons, raccoons, and snakes prey on bullfrogs.   Bullfrogs spend their lives in or near the water of ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. A bullfrog’s body temperature varies with that of the surrounding water and air. As winter approaches, bullfrogs burrow into the mud of pond or stream bottoms to hibernate. Female bullfrogs lay their eggs in water during the warmer months of the year. The young frogs, called tadpoles live in the water until their legs and lungs develop.

Point guard: organizes the team's offense by controlling the ball. Shooting guard: creates a high volume of shots on offense. Small forward: responsible for scoring points via dribble penetration. Power forward: plays offensively often with their back to the basket; on defense, plays under the basket. Center: uses height and size to score (on offense), to protect the basket closely (on defense), or to rebound.

Multiple Choices Questions Objective: Learn How Habitat and Niche Differ Key Words: Niche, Habitat, Bullfrog Multiple Choices Questions In a stable, long-existing community, the establishment of a single species per niche is most directly the result of A) competition B) overproduction C) parasitism D) interbreeding 2. The ecological niches of three bird species are shown in the diagram below. What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche? A) There is less competition for food. B) Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations. C) As the birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases. D) More abiotic resources are available for each bird. 3. Although three different butterfly species all inhabit the same flower garden in an area, competition between the butterflies rarely occurs. The most likely explanation for this lack of competition is that these butterflies A) have a limited supply of food B) are able to interbreed C) occupy different niches D) share food with each other
