Changes in habitat have tremendous effects on the organisms that depend on them.These effects are ________________.
A)generally neutral; the variations within each species allow them to adapt very quickly
B)generally positive; the changes increase the habitat that is available for species to colonize
C)generally negative; organisms are already adapted to the habitats in which they occur and any change is likely to render the habitat less suitable
D)generally negative; the changes usually cause rapid extinction of most species
E)generally positive; organisms are already adapted to the habitats in which they occur and any change is likely to render the habitat more suitable

Organisms have adapted to their current habitats over long periods of time and any sudden changes can have negative effects on their survival and ability to thrive. These changes may cause the habitat to become less suitable, leading to population declines, migration, or extinction. While some species may be able to adapt to new conditions, others may not be able to do so quickly enough, resulting in population loss or disappearance.
