What is the learning outcome related to adaptations?

• Identify the non-adaptive features for a range of organisms that aid its survival

• Identify the adaptive features for a range of organisms that hinder its survival

• Identify the non-adaptive features for a range of organisms that hinder its survival

• Identify the adaptive features for a range of organisms that aid its survival

Answer explanation

The correct answer is to identify the adaptive features for a range of organisms that aid its survival. This learning outcome focuses on recognizing the traits that help organisms thrive in their environment.

What are structural (morphological) adaptations?

• Processes that organisms carry out in order to survive

• Physical structures of an organism

• Ways in which members of a species act

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Structural (morphological) adaptations refer to the physical structures of an organism, making 'Physical structures of an organism' the correct choice.

What are physiological (functional) adaptations?

• Ways in which members of a species act

• Physical structures of an organism

• None of the above

• Processes that organisms carry out in order to survive

Answer explanation

Physiological (functional) adaptations refer to the processes that organisms carry out in order to survive, making the correct answer 'Processes that organisms carry out in order to survive'.

What are behavioural adaptations?

• Processes that organisms carry out in order to survive

• Physical structures of an organism

• Ways in which members of a species act

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Behavioural adaptations refer to the ways in which members of a species act, making it the correct choice.

What is the focus of the Adaptations Exercise SciPad page 77?

• None of the above

• Structural (morphological) adaptations

• Behavioural adaptations

• Physiological (functional) adaptations

Answer explanation

The focus of the Adaptations Exercise SciPad page 77 is not specifically mentioned in the given answer choices, so the correct answer is 'None of the above'.

What is the main focus of the learning outcome related to adaptations?

• Identify the adaptive features for a range of organisms that aid its survival

• Investigate patterns in ecological communities

• Describe an organism's niche and the adaptations used to survive there

• None of the above

Answer explanation

The main focus of the learning outcome related to adaptations is to describe an organism's niche and the adaptations used to survive there, making this the correct choice.
