Science: Introduction of Adaptations

Note: This "Adaptations" post is taken from either my textbook or the PSLE Science Guide, no copyright infringement intended!!!!
Adaptations = characteristics which help an organism survive in (its) habitat.

• Organisms have special characteristics or features that help them to:

          -survive in their habitat
          -reproduce

Structural Adaptations
Organisms have special body parts or unusual life processes which are suited for the environment. They are called structural adaptations.


Behavioural Adaptations
Organisms behave in certain ways to survive in their habitats. These are behavioural adaptations.

Organisms may have both structural and behavioural adaptations to help them survive/reproduce.
