BiologyAdaptations of organisms to their environmentGCSEAQA Created by: A_GhazaliCreated on: 08-05-16 16:42 What are the special features called, that living organisms use to survive in their particular habitat? Adaptations 1 of 17 What are the organisms that survive and reproduce in the most difficult conditions known as? Extremophiles 2 of 17 What is a thermophile? Organisms that have specially adapted enzymes that do not denature and so work at very high temperatures. 3 of 17 Where do you loose the most body heat through? Body surface (mainly skin) 4 of 17 What reduces the energy loss of animals in the Arctic? Having a thick fur coat. 5 of 17 What helps animals to cool down in hot and dry climates? Staying active in the early morning and late evening. 6 of 17 What is the use of camouflage? So the prey does not see the predator coming, and so the prey cannot be noticed by the predator. 7 of 17 How do plants loose water from their leaves? The stomata in the leaves allow water loss through evaporation every time they open for respiration. 8 of 17 Why do plants often reduce the surface area of their leaves? To reduce water loss. 9 of 17 How do plants acquire water in hot and dry climates? They have extensive root systems that spread over a wide area. 10 of 17 In which parts can a plant store its water? Stems 11 of 17 What do animals compete for? Food, territory and mates 12 of 17 What makes a successful competitor amongst animals? Having adaptations to the environment they live in. 13 of 17 Why is it important seeds are spread far away from the parent plant? So that the parent plant cannot take away most of the water, nutrients and light. 14 of 17 Why would short roots help a plant to survive? So that it can take nutrients from the surface of the soil. 15 of 17 A star-nosed mole has adapted to have a reaction time of 230 milliseconds. Why? Because it is almost totally blind and dependant on other senses such as touch. 16 of 17 Venus flytrap survive by trapping flies and digesting them. Why? Because the grow in bogs, which has soil with very few nutrients. 17 of 17
