Artificial limbs.
It is an adjective.
adaptive bioengineering is using examples from nature and adapting them to human use, such as whales have grooves in their fins which decrease co-efficient drag and use this on wind turbines to increase efficiency
adaptive bioengineering
Assistive helps someone while adaptive changes someone. ex. A rod on a broken leg is adaptive when contacts are assistive.
Adaptive Bioengineering products differ from assistive ones in that they actually change the living organisms. A similar adaptive bioengineering is the replacement of defective or diseased cells with healthy cells. Replacing the defective or diseased cells with healthy cells is changing the living organisms because it's making their cells healthy & the cells will NOT have any more bacteria on it.

UW Bioengineering was created in 1984.
Adaptive behaviour
Adaptive Thermogenesis: This can be defined as the regulated production of heat in response to environmental changes in temperature and diet, resulting in metabolic inefficiency. For example, shivering when we are cold uses energy and this is an example of adaptive thermogenesis. (Alexander Bowring 24 / 04 / 2008)
The finches on Galapagos Islands. Marsupials provide another example.
An adaptive trait is one that helps an individual better interact with their environment. Adaptive traits include thumbs in humans for example.
