Did you find a large variety in these organisms? • All Organisms Differ From Each Other In Variety Of Ways • Food They Eat • Place Where They Live (Surrounding)
HABITAT The place where an animal or plant lives and grows is called its habitat.
A habitat is where an animal finds the food, water, and shelter it needs to live.
HABITAT TERRESTRIAL HABITAT AQUATIC HABITAT • Deserts • Mountain regions • Grasslands • Oceans • Ponds and lakes
