Adaptations

Plants adapt to their environments in order to get the water and sunlight they need to survive in a harsh environment.

Natural selection is the passing of survival traits to future generations.

Camouflage is a type of adaptation that helps an animal blend in with its environment, like the colors and patterns on a turtle's shell.

A physical adaptation is the way an animal looks in order to help them survive.

A habitat is the space where a plant or animal lives.

Migration is an example of a behavioral adaptation, where animals move to different areas for survival.

Adaptations help animals survive and reproduce in their environments.

Cacti have thick, waxy skin to reduce water loss in arid environments.

Adaptations contribute to biodiversity by allowing different species to thrive in various environments.

A habitat is the environment where an organism lives, while a niche is the role or function of that organism within its habitat.
