Adaptation

Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter from the weather and place to breed its young. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive.

This means adapting to be able to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem, predators, and other species that compete for the same food and space. An adaptation is a modification or change in the organism's body or behaviour that helps it to survive. Explore the links given here to know more about habitats and how different plants and animals.

An animal may adapt to its habitat in different ways. It may be a physical or structural adaptation, just as the limbs of birds have modified into wings or the way the cheetah is shaped for running at a fast speed.

It may be in the way the body works in circulating and respiration, for instance the gills that fish have enable them to breathe in water. Or it may be the way the animal behaves whether it is hunting for food, or running fast to avoid predators or migrating to other places for food or survival.

An animal's environment consists of many different things. The climate, the kinds of food plants that grow in it, other animals that may be predators or competitors- the animal must learn to adapt to each of these factors in order to survive. With increasing population growth and human activity that disturbs the natural habitat, animals must learn to adapt to these kind of threats as well.

Animals in the wild can only live in places they are adapted to. They must have the right kind of habitat where they can find the food and space they need. Visit the link for a brief overview of how animals adapt to their habitat.

The adaptation can be defined as the change in the morphology, genomic and physiological level which allows the organism to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

  • The adaptation is necessary for the organism to survive in the changing environment.
  • For example, the elongation of the neck in giraffe helped in obtaining food from the tree tops when the large population was experiencing the lack of food at the ground level. This is an example of natural selection and structural adaptation.
  • The plants releases toxic substances to prevent the grazing from wild animals this is a kind of physiological adaptation.
