5. Functional Adaptations
A functional adaptation is a feature of the way
an organism’s body works.
EXAMPLES:
1. Increase in heart rate when you exercise.
Your body automatically makes your heart beat faster to
supply more blood to your muscle.
2. A snake can kill and eat a frog because its body
chemistry can produce poison.
The production of poison is a functional adaptation
because it helps the snake obtain food and therefore survive.
3. Photosynthesis is a functional adaptation because it is the
chemical means by which the plant produces the food materials
it requires.
