Adaptations (AQA GCSE Biology): Flashcards

Features/behaviours helping organisms survive in environments

Structural, behavioural, and functional

Physical features of body that help organism survive

Actions/behaviours organisms perform to survive

Internal processes (metabolism/reproduction) that help survive

Organisms in extreme conditions (temp/pressure/salt)

Thick blubber and dense fur retain heat

Absorb heat and regulate body temperature

Concentrated urine and minimal sweat

Smaller ratio reduces heat loss

Produce highly concentrated urine to conserve water

Cooler parts of day (early morning/evening)

Reduces water evaporation from leaves

Store water in their stems

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents with extreme pressure/temp
