Question

How are niches and habitats different?

Answer 1

Hint: A location or area where a species grows survives or thrives is a habitat. The presence of species present in an environment is determined by temperature, sunshine, rainfall, soil types, etc., and other abiotic factors. The distributional unit unique to each animal, is described as a niche. The same ecological niche cannot be filled for long by two species living in the same territory.

Complete answer:
A significant component of an ecosystem is habitat and niche. They assist in determining an organism's relationship with its environment, including both biotic and abiotic agents.

Ecology is the study of certain relationships. Habitat and Niche have a thin line of differentiation and are closely related words. The niche is the unique role played in an ecosystem by some individual animal. Niche explains primarily how a species contributes to the system's energy supply, how it gains energy and provides it more throughout the system, e.g. whether the species is a source or recipient, etc. While Habitat is the actual location where any individual species resides and adapts to environmental environments, e.g. mountains or grasslands, etc. Habitat is part of an ecosystem, while in the creation of an ecosystem, niches play a significant role. The "address" is Habitat, the "profession" is Niche.

Note: The niche is exclusive to a single species, and no two species can occupy the same niche. The two comparable niches which intersect, but to prevent rivalry for the same services, there must be different distinctions. Habitat is the most suitable condition for a species and offers optimal conditions for developing, evolving, reproducing and thriving a species.
