Adaptations :red_flag: :star: :+1:
what are adaptations
adaptations are special characteristics that help them to survive and reproduce
An organism that is adapted to the environment in its natural habitat can survive there
different types of adaptations
special body parts or unusual life process is a
structural adaptation
fish have gills to breathe in water, kangaroo can store water as they live in deserts
behave in certain ways is a
behavioural adaptation
frog jumps in water when sense danger, snake rest in early morning when air is cool to maintain body heat
organisms may be both structural and behavioural adaptation :!?:
the tail feathers (structural adaptation) help peacock to reproduce and do the mating dance (Behavioural adaptation)
how do living things adapt in order to survive
movement, breathing, dealing with physical conditions, getting food, protection, reproduction and making food(for plants)
how do organism survive in extreme temperatures
Organisms have various
_
for surviving the physical condition in their natural habitats
different habitats have different adaptations
organisms that survive in desert (Hot and Dry conditions)
Plants
get enough water
Animals
Survive extremely high temperature
and reduce water loss
:pencil2: Table P201
cold environments
some stay cold throughout the year and some is cold only for part of the year
it reduce body heat that they lose by having a layer of fat and have thick furs
A layer of fur that traps air which is an insulator
Table P202 :pencil2:
Body covers of thick, closely-packed hair, feathers or fur
hibernates to reduce energy loss
how do aquatic animals adapt
land animals get oxygen from air
aquatic animals have moist skin, gills, gill chambers, air tubes, air bubble, special nostrils and a blowhole
Table P204-205 :pencil2:
How do animals adapt for movement
Animals need movement to find food or escape danger or find mates
move in air
Birds, insects and bats are adapted for flight. Their ability to fly to escape danger from predatory birds:
predatory birds like eagles have sharp eyesight to spot prey from a far distance
Diagram P207 :pencil2:
Some have legs to help move on land
These are structural adaptations
move on land
have legs with powerful muscles to overcome gravity and friction
hooves for protection and tails for balance
Animals that move on land may have modified feet
move about by hopping, walking or running
Animals with powerful legs, are able to hopping, walking or sleeping on land
snakes have powerful backbones beside scales to help slither
Animals without legs have adaptations to protect lower part of body. They experience friction as they drag along the ground
Move in water
streamlined body shape to swim faster by reducing the effect of water resitance
some have adaptation such as modified limbs, flippers, or webbed feet to push water back to move forward
Table P206 :pencil2:
these are structural adaptations
Water resistance is an force experienced in water, just like the friction on land
How do animals adapt to dark environment
animals need light to find food
animals that are more active at night have adaptations to help them
some have body parts that produce light to attract prey, confuse predators and find mate
large eyes have good night vision eyesight
how do plants adapt to obtain more sunlight?
Land plants grow straight up and have branches to hold leaves in best position
Vines adapt to grow around supporting structures
Land plants are plants with weak stems that grow around supports
Some plants have special structures such as tendrils, clasping roots and/or hooks to help them climb
aquatic plants grow to the surface of water to trap sunlight
Either float on the surface of the water, or have leaves that stick out of the water surface
