Animal and Plants adaptations Science G5
- 1. Animal and Plants adaptations Adaptations- traits thathelp organisms, including plants and animals, survive and reproduce in their specific environments.
- 2. What are adaptations? Featuresthat help the living things to: -cope with the non-living factors in the environment -Get food, water and air. -hide from predators. -reproduce
- 3. Two general typesof adaptations Structure adaptation Behavioral adaptation -physical features -Body colour, shape and covering -ways in which a living thing behave to survive. -for example: migration
- 4. Animal Adaptation function Structural/ behavioural Salmonstreamlined body to reduce drag and conserve energy while swimming structural

- 25. A flipper isa broad, flattened limb adapted for aquatic locomotion. Adaptations for moving in water
- 26. Webbed feet aretoes that are connected by a thin piece of skin. They are an adaptation that has developed in many aquatic animals that live in or near the water or who need to be able to move through the water quickly. Adaptations for moving in water
- 29. A swim bladder,also known as an air bladder or gas bladder, is a gas-filled organ found in most bony fish that helps them control their buoyancy. It acts like a built-in buoyancy compensation device, allowing fish to adjust their position in the water column without constantly swimming to stay afloat. Adaptations for moving in water
- 31. A blowhole isthe single or paired opening on top of its head that functions as its nostril, allowing it to breathe air. It's not a simple opening; it's a complex structure connected to the dolphin's lungs. Adaptations for moving in water
- 32. A nostrils, alsoknown as nares, are the two external openings of the nasal cavity. They allow air and other gases to enter and exit the nasal passages. Adaptations for moving in water

- 39. Strong flight musclesare crucial for birds and some insects to achieve powered flight. In birds, the pectoralis muscles are the most prominent, responsible for the downstroke of the wings, while the supracoracoideus muscle assists with the upstroke. These muscles, along with others like the coraco-brachialis and tensor muscles, work together to power and control wing movements during flight. Adaptations for flight
- 40. Bird feathers areboth lightweight and strong due to their unique structure and the material they are made of, keratin. This combination allows birds to fly efficiently and provides protection from the elements. Adaptations for flight

- 67. Plants seeds disperseby: Air Seeds dispersed by wind are light and have structure that help them to travel long distances before falling to the ground. Dandelion head Shorea seed Angsana seeds dispersed by wind using a unique parachute-like structure made of bristles attached to each seed.
- 68. Plants seeds disperseby: Water Some fruits can float in water. They carry their seeds across seas and oceans. Lotus seeds Coconut seed Mangrove plants
- 69. Plants seeds disperseby: animals Some seeds have hooks or thorns that help them stick onto animals that brush past them. These animals carry the seeds away from there parent plants. burdock cocklebur guava
- 70. Plants seeds disperseby: explosion Some plants disperse by seeds explosion. When these seed pods are ripe, they split open with a force releasing the seeds inside them. Rubber fruit Pea pod Okra

It has strong flight muscles. / It has light and strong feathers. / It has strong hollow bones. The strong flight muscles allow the pelicans to move their wings. / The light and strong feathers keep the flight muscles warm so that they can work properly. / The strong hollow bones reduce the bodyweight of the bird and make it easier for it to fly.
