Adaptations for Water Many structures in fish are adaptations for their aquatic lifestyle. ... Fish have gills that allow them to “breathe” oxygen in water. Water enters the mouth, passes over the gills, and exits the body through a special opening. Gills absorb oxygen from the water as it passes over them.

Adaptation – adapting to life in a changing climate – involves adjusting to actual or expected future climate. The goal is to reduce our vulnerability to the harmful effects of climate change (like sea-level encroachment, more intense extreme weather events or food insecurity).

Although all earlier hominins are now extinct, many of their adaptations for survival—an appetite for a varied diet, making tools to gather food, caring for each other, and using fire for heat and cooking—make up the foundation of our modern survival mechanisms and are among the defining characteristics of our species.

Living organisms are adapted to their environment. This means that the way they look, the way they behave, how they are built, or their way of life makes them suited to survive and reproduce in their habitats. ... You can probably think of many other features of body or behavior that help animals to lead a successful life.

Their physical characteristics include landforms, climate, soils, and hydrology. Things such as language, religion, political systems, economic systems, and population distribution are examples of human characteristics.

Behavioral Adaptation: Actions animals take to survive in their environments. Examples are hibernation, migration, and instincts. Example: Birds fly south in the winter because they can find more food. Structural Adaptation: A characteristic in a plant or in an animal's body that helps it to survive in its environment.

Summary: Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances – perhaps to hunt animals or scavenge carcasses on Africa's vast savannah – and the ability to run shaped our anatomy, making us look like we do today, according to a new study. ... "Running has substantially shaped human evolution.

In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment. ... The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species.

Behavioral Adaptation: Actions animals take to survive in their environments. ... Structural Adaptation: A characteristic in a plant or in an animal's body that helps it to survive in its environment. Examples are protective coloration (camouflage) and the ability to retain water.

['Movement - they can move and change their position.', 'Reproduction – they can make more of the same kind of organism as themselves.', 'Sensitivity – they can detect or sense stimuli and respond to them.', 'Growth - they can permanently increase their size or dry mass by increasing the number or size of their cells.']

Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism, like having a tail. Behavioural adaptations are the things that an organism does to survive, these are learnt actions. Functional adaptations are those that help the organism to survive, the difference being that they are innate functions.
