智森's adaptation
nocturnal animals
active at night
look for food
adapted to survive in dark enviroments
good night vision
e.g. owl
uses sound
detect objects
e.g. bat
produce light
in body part
e.g. deep sea anglerfish
attract prey
adaptation to catch prey
venom
Strong Senses
can smell prey from far away
Camouflage
blends itself to camouflage
Sharp Teeth
sharp teeth to tear the flesh of their prey.
inject venom to stun prey
Speed
it can run very fast to catch prey
Strong Jaws and Claws
sharp claws to grip their prey tightly
Sticky Tongue
tongue can project outward to latch onto prey.
hunting in pack
hunt prey by working together
movement
air
animals experience air resistance when they move in the air.
most birds have
Streamlined body shape
Flight muscles
Hollow bones
Wings
Feathers
land
reasons for adaptation for movement in animals
move in different environments, sand, mud, rock or snow
search for food in the surroundings
reproduce
escape from their predators
water
streamlined body shape
A shape wide in the middle and narrow at both ends
Streamlined bodies reduce water resistance, helping them hunt and escape predators.
animals with streamlined body shapes
Fish
Whale
Penguin
water plant
fully submerged
air spaces in leaves and stem hold plant up underwater.
floating
spongy leaf stalk to keep floating
partially submerged
upper surface
waxy leaves
repel water
larger surface area
trap sunlight
types of adaptation
behavioural
behaviour or a response shown
to help it survive or reproduce
the behaviour is a choice
structural
physical feature of an organisms body
the organism were born with it
to help it survive or reproduce
reasons for adaptation
plants
To obtain enough air
To protect themselves against extreme temperatures
To have enough water
To protect themselves from predators
To look for food
For movement
animals
to obtain enough sunlight
To obtain enough water
To obtain enough minerals
To protect themselves against extreme temperatures
To protect themselves from consumers
adaptation in
hot and dry environments
extreme temperature changes in a day
animal must be able to protect themselves from the heat
water bodies and rain is very scarce
cold environments
temperature remains below zero most of the time
animals must be able to keep warm
covered in permanent snow and ice
Adaptation to Obtain Air in Water
ways to obtain air in water
Gill Chambers
Animals obtain oxygen from the water in the gill chambers
Breathing Tubes
The tubes protrude above water to absorb oxygen from air.
Gills
Gills take in oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide.
Using Air Bubbles
legs or hairy bodies form air-bubbles that allow breathing underwater
Thin Layer of Wet Skin
Soft moist skin absorbs dissolved oxygen from the water
Blowholes
Located on top of their heads
breathes when swimming near the water surface
Special Nostrils
Nostrils at the tip of their snouts or heads close underwater.
modified limbs
Flippers are modified limbs that help animals move efficiently underwater.
fins are the modified limps that help them to remain balanced and facilitate in their movement.
Fins are modified limbs that help aquatic animals balance and move.
animals with webbed feet
Turtle
ducks
seal
