Adaptation (AQA GCSE Biology Combined Science): Flashcards

Special features helping organisms survive in their environment

Structural, behavioural, functional

Physical body features like thick fur

Things organisms do like migrating

How body processes work, e.g. sweating to cool down

Less surface area means less heat escapes

Work like fans to lose heat quickly

Insulation to trap warm air

Organisms living in extreme/deadly environments

Normal leaves would lose too much water through transpiration
