Question

• is the where an animal lives - must include an arrangement of all essential elements accessible to the animal, including - cover - food - water - physical environment - home range

Explanation:

The first blank refers to the term for where an animal lives that includes all essential resources. The missing essential element for an animal's habitat (the term for the first blank) is space, and from the dropdown, "home range" is the term that describes the area an animal uses for its needs including the listed resources. Wait, correcting: The first term is "habitat" (the place an animal lives with essential elements), and the missing essential element option that fits is "home range" is not right, no—wait, the essential elements are cover, food, water, and the fourth is the area/space, which is home range? No, actually, the first blank is "habitat" (the defined area where an animal lives with all required elements), and the missing element from the list is a living space/area, which matches "home range" as the fourth essential component here.

Wait, re-clarifying:

1. The first blank: The term for "where an animal lives" that includes all essential elements is habitat.
2. The dropdown option that completes the list of essential elements (along with cover, food, water) is home range, as it represents the spatial area an animal uses to access all these resources.

Answer:

First blank: habitat
Dropdown selection: home range
