Adaptations

What is an adaptation? An adjustment or change in the structure or behavior of an organism that makes it more suited to its environment.

Two Types of Adaptations: 1. Structural Adaptations: physical features of an organism that helps them to survive

Types of Structural Adaptations 1. Camouflage

Camouflage

Mimicry-when an animal copies another animal’s appearance, actions, or sounds Can you guess which one is a sea slug and which is the flatworm mimic? The sea slug gives off poisonous, smelly chemicals to discourage its predators. Why would the flatworm want to look like the sea slug?

Chemical Defense

Other Examples of Structural Adaptations

Teeth

2. Behavioral Adaptations: Things or actions that organisms do to survive

Migration
