ADAPTATIONS NOTES OVER VIDEOReasons for adaptations:To suit _____________For protectionFor attackingFor _______________For movement

Internal Structure of Plants:Roots: anchor the plant, and are responsible for water absorptionStem: provides structural support of the plants and are necessary for the transport of nutrients (water, minerals, etc.)Leaves or ______________ photosynthesis (size and shape variations- competition for light is fierce)Flowers: structures for sexual production, and are needed to make seeds

Plant Adaptations:Root Hairs – ______________________Stem length – _____________________Water Storage – __________________________Leave size– ______________________________Leaf Cuticle – waxy covering to prevent water lossFlower Structures – to attract pollinators Internal skeletons – allows molting of exoskeleton for growth

Animal Adaptations:Ectotherm – _____________________________________________Endotherm – _____________________________________________Wings- _____________________________________________Water-proof or Insulated fur – to help animals stay warm in wet or cold environments.Water Absorption – some animals, such as giraffes can obtain their water from the moisture in the foods they eat.

Animal Adaptation- RespirationGills ________________Lungs _________________________________________ help animals absorb oxygen into their bloodBirds have _____________________________________ long distances Animal Adaptations- # of OffspringGenerally the smaller the organism, ________________________ (example: A female black widow spider can produce four to nine egg sacs in one summer, each containing about 100-400 eggs)The ______________________, the smaller the number of eggs (example: A female giraffe can have only up to two babies at one time)Appendages: ____________

Type of toes _______________________Birds have wings for flight -_______________________Other Adaptations: Birds have feathers that repel water

Examples of adaptations:Teeth Body coverings    MovementExternal structure:_____________________________________ allow an animal to blend into its environment.  Another word for this might be camouflage.  Their camouflage makes it hard for enemies to single out individuals.  

External adaptation:Mimicry allows one animal to look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous. Behavioral adaptations :__________________________An opossum plays dead.

Behavioral adaptations:A rabbit __________________________ it has been seen. Migration:This is a _____________________________________ moving from one region to another and then back again. Why do animals migrate?___________________________better food safe place to live safe __________________________ go back to the place they were born.

Internal structures:In birds, ______________________________________ making their bodies lighter so that they can fly.
