Adaptations for survival:
Organisms must be
adapted
to their
environment
to survive
Adaptations can be
structural
,
behavioral
, or
functional
View source
Structural
adaptations:
Physical
features like
shape
or
color
Example: Seals and walruses have a
rounded
shape, store
fat
, and have a
low
surface area to
volume
ratio to
conserve
body heat
Gray-brown
color helps
camouflage
them from
predators
View source
Behavioral adaptations:
Way an organism
behaves
or
acts
Example:
Elephants
flap ears and spray water to
cool
down in
hot
environments
Swallows migrate to
warmer
countries during
winter
to avoid
cold
and lack of
food
View source
Functional adaptations:
Processes
inside
an organism's body like
metabolism
or
reproductive system
Example:
Desert animals conserve water
by producing
little sweat
and
concentrated urine
Camels
accumulate
fat
in humps to
release water
later

Brown bears (Ursus actos) adaptations:
Found in
northern
latitudes, indicating adaptation to
cold
environment
Thick
fur for insulation is a
structural
adaptation
Diverse diet includes
plants
,
fungi
,
fish
,
invertebrates
, and
mammals
like
deer
Adapted to catch different prey with
long sharp claws
for fish and
strong muscles
for deer, both structural adaptations
Hibernate
in
winter
to conserve
energy
, lowering
metabolism
, a
functional
adaptation
View source
Extremophiles:
Microorganisms
adapted to
extreme
environments
Can live in
high
temperatures,
high
salt concentrations, and
high
pressures
Example:
Bacteria
found on the
outside
of the
International
Space Station
