2 categories of adaptation:

physical and behavioral

bodystructures that allow an animal to find and consume food, defend itself, and toreproduce its species.


helpan animal survive in its environment.

Physicaladaptations

useof color in a surrounding

camouflage

lookingor sounding like another living organism

mimicry

TheViceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look like the

monarch butterfly

likevenom, ink, sprays

chemical defenses

claws,beaks, feet, armor plates, skulls, teeth

Bodycoverings & parts

aphysical adaptation that helps it to clean itself, eat, drink, and to pickthings up. net/

Behavioral Adaptations

physical adaptions are?

body structures

Wecan divide BehavioralAdaptations intotwo groups:

Instinctive and learned

happennaturally & don’t need to be learnede}

instinctive behavior

example of instinctive behaviors

methods of gathering and stexamploring food


defending oneself


finding shelter


raising young


hibernating


migrating

Obtainedby interacting with the environment and cannot be passed on to the nextgeneration except by teaching.

learned behavior

•keepsconditions within an ideal range.

Negativefeedback

Mostoften this is controlled by the

hypothalamusin the brain.

•takesa condition out of the normal range, often to some end point.

Positivefeedback

increasescontractions, which stimulate more oxytocin production, until birth occurs.

oxytocin

areanimals that derive body heat from the environment. Their body temperature mayvary widely.

ecthoterms

relyon metabolic reactions and physiological systems to maintain a steady bodytemperature.

Endotherms

Body systems maintain homeostasisthrough:

negative feedback systems

True or false: “cold blooded”animals always have a lower body temperature than “warm-blooded” animals.

Types of Adaptations

Structural


Behavioral

•arethe way something is built or made.

Structural

theway something acts naturally or by instinct.

Behavioral

Structural adaptations:

- To get food


- Get water and nutrients


- For reproduction


- Defense



•Adaptations to get food (Structural)

–Leaves and stems absorb energy from thesun.

•Adaptations to get water andnutrients (Structural)

–Roots soak up water and nutrients fromsoil.

•Adaptations for reproduction (Structural)

–Brightly colored flowers with nectarattract pollinators such as birds, bees and insects.

•Adaptations for reproduction (Structural)

–Sweet fruit attracts animals that spreadseeds far away.


–Some seeds are shaped to catch the wind.

•Adaptations for defense (Structural)

–Spines and thorns protect plants frompredators


–Poison Ivy and Poison oak have toxinsthat give predators a painful itchy rash.

•Adaptations to get food (Behavioral)

–Plants lean or grow towards the sun.


–Roots grow down into soil.


Vinesclimb up trees to catch sunlight.

•Adaptations to get water andnutrients (Behavioral)

–Desert flowers can stay dormant formonths, only coming to life when it rains.

•Adaptations for reproduction (Behavioral)

–Plants drop seeds to grow new offspring.

Rain forest


Temperate Forest


Water



Desert Adaptation

–Smallleaves or spines on desert plants conserve water.


–Thickwaxy skin holds in water.


–Rootsnear the soils surface soak up rain water quickly before it evaporates.

Grassland Adaptations

•Deeproots help plants survive prairie fires.•Narrowleaves lose less water than broad leaves.•Flexiblestems bend in the wind.

Tundra Adaptations

•Smallplants grow close to the ground for warmth.


•Darkcolored flowers absorb heat from the sun.


•Fuzzy stems provide protection from wind.

Rainforest Adaptations

•Smooth,slippery bark keeps vines from killing trees.


•Slide shaped leaves lets rain run off so fungus doesn’t grow on plants. notifications/counts

Temperate Forest Adaptations

•Thickbark protects trees and dropping leaves in winter conserves water and nutrientsduring cold winters.

Water Adaptations

•Flexible stems move with water currents.


•Floating seeds spread offspring.
