The document discusses different types of habitats including aquatic, terrestrial, and arboreal habitats. It provides examples of organisms found in each habitat and describes their adaptations. Aquatic habitats include freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments inhabited by organisms like whales, turtles, and water plants. Terrestrial habitats refer to land environments where organisms such as humans, domestic animals, and wild animals live. Arboreal habitats refer to life in or on trees and are home to animals like parrots and monkeys. The document then discusses examples of adaptations that allow organisms to survive in their habitats, such as gills and fins in aquatic organisms, extensive root systems in terrestrial plants, and wings in arboreal birds and bats.

1. HABITAT

2. Habitat is a place or environment where
organisms normally live.
There are three major types of habitat.
These are :
Aquatic
terrestrial
 arboreal habitats.

3. Aquatic Habitat:
(i) Freshwater
(ii) Marine
(iii) Estuarine
Living organisms found living in
aquatic habitat include whale,
turtles, water lettuce, water lilies
etc. Aquatic habitats are classified
according to their salinity (salt
content).

4. Terrestrial Habitat:
• Then terrestrial habitat refers to land
environment. Living organisms found
living in terrestrial habitat include man,
domestic animals e.g. dog, cat, goat,
wild animals such as lion, tiger etc.
Terrestrial habitats can be;
• (i) Tropical rainforest
• (ii) Savannah (grassland)
• (iii)Desert

5. Arboreal Habitat:
Arboreal habitat means air
environment. It can also be referred
to as life in or on trees habitat.
Animals like parrots, weaver birds,
monkeys and orangutans are good
examples of animals found in arboreal
habitats.

6. ADAPTATION OF ORGANISMS TO THEIR HABITATS
Plants and animals are found in a
particular area (habitat) because they
have special features which help them to
survive in that habitat. Adaptation is any
feature of an organism in structure or
activity that makes the organism to
survive in its environment. Such features
are called adaptive features. For instance,
fishes have gills, fins and tails (adaptive
features) water bodies.

7. ADAPTATION OF PLANTS TO AQUATIC HABITAT;
(i) They have poorly developed root system.
(ii) Generally, leaves of aquatic plants have large air
spaces that keep them buoyant and let them absorb
oxygen.
(iii) Some possess breathing roots for gaseous
exchange.
(iv) Some possess waxy cuticles on their leaves to
prevent wetting so that gaseous exchange can easily
take place.
Plants which grow only in or on water are known as
hydrophytes e.g. Water lettuce, Water Lily.

8. ADAPTATION OF PLANTS TO TERRESTRIAL HABITAT;
(i) They possess extensive root system for
anchorage and water absorption e.g. Mahogany.
(ii) Desert plants possess tiny and scanty leaves to
reduce water loss through transpiration.
(iii) Some have leaves reduced to spines e.g. Cactus,
to reduce the rate of transpiration.
(iv) They possess thick bark on their stems to
protect internal tissues.
(v) Some have special storage tissues that enable
them to withstand conditions of external drought by
using their water storage. E.g. Cactus.

9. ADAPTATION OF ANIMALS TO THEIR HABITATS
Habitats Adaptation Living Organisms
Aquatic Fins and tails for swimming,
streamlined body for swimming.
Fish, Toad, Tadpoles
Webbed feet for swimming. Duck, Toads, Crocodile,
Frog etc.
Gills for breathing. Fish, Tadpoles
Terrestrial Limbs, legs, arms, feet for walking,
running and jumping, lung for
breathing
Man, Dog, Cow, Rat, lion
etc
Scaly skin to reduce water loss. Lizard
Arboreal Wings for flight. Birds, Bat, Insects etc.
