(DON’T NEED)What are the three different types of adaptations?
Structural, behavioural and functional
(DON’T NEED)What are structural adaptations? Give examples
• Bodily structures, such as shape and colour. • E.g. white fur for camouflage, fat to reduce heat loss, low surface area to volume ratio, large surface area to volume ratio
(DON’T NEED)What are Behavioural adaptations and give examples?
• Way an animal behaves. - E.g. birds migrate to warmer climates
(DON’T NEED)What are Functional adaptations and give examples?
• Things that happen inside the animals body that relate to processes like reproduction and metabolism. • E.g. desert animals conserve water by producing very little sweat and small amounts of concentrated urine, brown bears hibernate to reduce their metabolism.
What is biomass?
Energy stored inside a plant
What is a halophile?
