2.  STRUCTURAL – how an organism is built or looks may aid its survival  PHYSIOLOGICAL – how an organism can perform specific functions may aid its survival  BEHAVIORAL – Actions the organism may take may aid its survival

3. *Allows birds to eat different foods

4. *Allows fish to breathe underwater

5. *Tubes in a plant that bring water from the roots to the rest of the plant

6. *Makes bones light so birds can fly

7. *Flower color attracts organisms to help with the process of pollination

12. Countershaded Ibex are almost invisible in the Israeli desert. Camouflage allows predator to capture prey

15. “Red and Yellow kill a fellow red and black friend of Jack” (for similar looking Milk Snakes)". Coral Snake (poisonous) The Milk snake “mimics” the coral snake to trick predators into thinking it’s poisonous. Bright colors warn others that they are poisonous and should be left alone!!

16.  Animals may also try to look like another animal or object.

17.  Another example of mimicry involves the monarch butterfly, which is toxic and very nasty to eat. Its bright orange coloration is a warning to birds to leave it alone. The non-toxic viceroy butterfly has developed colors and wing patterns that are very similar to those of the monarch and so most birds won’t take a chance by taste-testing it!

18.  PHYSIOLOGICAL – an organism can perform specific functions that may aid its survival such as making venom, secreting lime, phototropism, geotropism and the other tropisms

24.  Among the larger fish in the Antarctic  2 meters in length and over 135kg  Slow heartbeat helps to survive in sub- freezing waters  Make antifreeze glycoprotein!

25. *The plant grows in the direction of the light *All tropisms

26.  BEHAVIORAL – Actions the organism may take may aid its survival

30.  These organisms are active at night instead of during the day.

34. Did you know that “Arthur” is an aardvark?

51.  One of the strangest plants of the desert, the night-blooming cereus, is a member of the cactus family that resembles nothing more than a dead bush most of the year. It is rarely seen in the wild because of its inconspicuousness. But for one midsummer's night each year, its exquisitely scented flower opens as night falls, then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun. Goal: pollination

52.  Desert evening primrose (Oenothera primiveris) produces yellow flowers that turn pinkish as they age and begin to wilt.

53.  Plants that live in arid climates break away and move where the wind takes them. This allows for seeds to be dispersed and to find areas of water. When the plant finds moisture it unrolls its roots and the roots move toward the water and begin to grow.  Tumbling

54.  Making a home in a tree Many species of snakes… example: corn snake

55.  Making a home in a tree Example: koala

56.  Making a home in a tree Example: tree frog

57.  Making a home in a tree Example: tarsier

58.  Making a home underground Example: skunk

59.  Making a home underground Example: shrew

60.  Making a home underground Example: prairie dog

61.  Puffer fish increase size to escape predators

62.  Rockfish hide and ambush their prey

63.  Remain inactive during the hottest part of the day to avoid over heating  Tuck bill under wing or lift one leg during times of cold weather

66.  In IAN, write 3 examples of each type of adaptation: Structural Physiological Behavioral
