Answer 1

Answer:

It depends on the concept of the niche since it may change when used to express specific activities for an organism.

Explanation:

In terms of alimentation (food sources), there is a niche that is represented by the kitchen and the dining room.

In terms of privacy (shelter), it is possible to differentiate three types of niches that are represented by the rooms (personal) regularly used by each member of my family.

In terms of activity (recreation), there is an additional niche that is used by all members of my family, this niche is represented by the living room.

This question is interesting because it help us to understand the meaning of niche, since it can change according to context, not only in nature, but also in the everyday of a home.
