AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Camoflauge is when a species can change their colors or patterns to match its environment to blend in, like a chameleon! And mimicry is when a harmless creature makes itself look dangerous. They “mimic” a more dangerous species and it makes other animals afraid to eat them. For example, think of a puffer fish!

Detailed explanation-2: -Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations. Blanding’s Turtles and other species of turtles have a structural adaptation that is very easy to see-their shells.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in dry, hot deserts. Plants called succulents have adapted to this climate by storing water in their short, thick stems and leaves. Seasonal migration is an example of a behavioral adaptation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants, animals, and other living things have adaptations that you cannot see. These adaptations are called internal adaptations. For example, some animals hibernate. A hibernating animal goes to sleep or is dormant during cold weather.
