Why do some organisms survive extreme environments?
Some organisms are better at adaptation to their environment because of their size, their diet, or any number of other reasons.
Do all organisms adapt?
yes all animals adopt to some degree to survive and thrive in their environment. Although some organisms may have to change more than others
What is the phrase used to describe when some organisms are better adapted to their environment than other organisms and they are more likely to survive and reproduce?
This phenomenon is known as survival of the fittest.
How are some organisms able to survive without sunlight and photosynthesis-?
Some organisms have adapted to their environment through evolution. These species went through slow changes so that they could survive where they are. In some cases, the environment changed around them slowly and they went through changes. This is what happened to many species in the deeper regions of the ocean.
Why are some organisms are more likely to survive?
Some organism's are more adapted to their environment so predator's don't see them, so then they survive and they keep on passing their gene's on to the next generation for year's to come.
What prevents some organisms from living at acidic or basic pH?
Organisms survive at certain pH levels. If the environment is too acidic or severely basic, it can wear away at their cellular structures, causing the organisms to die.
Why is it easier for some organisms than others to survive when a food item disappears from their environment?
Those organisms have a wider food variety; for example a bird that eats only flies will not survive as well as a bird that eats flies and beetles, if the flies run out.
Why are some organisms more likely to survive than others?
Some organism's are more adapted to their environment so predator's don't see them, so then they survive and they keep on passing their gene's on to the next generation for year's to come.
How does having a great many different organisms living in one place increase the chances that at least some will survive if there is a change in the environment?
it is because the odds have increased, more organisms around means that there is a higher likelyhood that one of them will be able to survive and adapt to the change
What is meant by greater fitness in darwinian evolution?
Better adaptions in the immediate environment leading to greater reproductive success. All organisms in a population are variations and in the immediate environment some organisms are better suited to survive and reproduce against their conspecifics. They have greater fitness.
Can organisms survive in conditions that they are not used to?
some can and some cannot
How would you explain the need for biodiversity?
A constant environment will not select different animals but if we assume that the earth's environment is changing then a wide range of genetic variation and a wide range of biodiversity will mean that as the environment does change then at least some of the organisms will survive
