Physiological adaptations:
Processes inside organism‘s body that increase its chance of survival.
E.g. Brown bears hibernate - they lower their rate of metabolism ( all chemical energy taking place in their body) over winter. This conserves energy, so they’re don’t need to look for food for months when its scarce - increasing their chance of survival.
E.g. Some bacteria produce antibiotics - these kill other species of bacteria in area. Means there’s less competition, so they’re more likely to survive
