An ecosystem usually has stability, or balance. There are many changes occurring all the time, but some cancel each other out. Organisms live, die, and decompose, returning the materials they were made of to the soil. New plants grow and use the materials. Water evaporates from a pond, but rain adds more water. Because these changes balance each other, they do not cause the overall ecosystem to change over time. However, changes in a climate, rate of erosion and populations.

Is it true that Physiological adaptations in organisms are slow to develop and do not cause a change in the organism?

true


Why are adaptations evidence of evolution?

Adaptations, such as structural changes or behavioral traits in organisms, are evidence of evolution because they reflect the process of natural selection acting on heritable variations over time. Organisms that possess advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing these traits on to their offspring, which can accumulate and lead to changes in populations or species. This gradual accumulation of adaptations is a key mechanism of evolutionary change.


How are behavioral adaptations and structural adaptations alike and different?

Behavioural adaptations involve changes in how an individual/species acts in relation to its environment (e.g. hibernation). Structural adapations are changes in the biological make-up of the species (mutuations in its DNA) which change how the species/individual looks or works structurally (e.g. different colourations).Answer 2Both types of adaptations concern the variation and inheritance of heritable traits. The difference between the two is that one type of inherited change affects the 'behaviour' of the organism (ie. the way it moves, where it goes, what it does there, and so on), while the other affects the biology of the organism in a more limited way (ie. the shape of its skeleton, the efficiency of its metabolism, etc).

the tendency to bite its own lips off and eat the skin.

Is adaptations a genetic basis for variation within a species?

No, adaptations usually do not result in any genotypical change in a species.


What genetic change allows organisms to survive natural selection in their environments analogies acquired traits adaptations learned behaviors?

Adaptations


What is the limpet adaptations?

adaptations is the change in a species to help it to become better suited to its environment. these include structural, physiological and behavioral adaptations. limpets have adapted to survive on rocks and eat bird poos.


How adaptations works?

Adaptations work by allowing an organism to adjust and change so that they can survive in a changing environment. This allows the organism to live longer.


Why is adaptations important for survival?

because if you can't adapt when your surroundings change you will die.


How does a starfish change so it can best live in its habitat?

because of its adaptations to the ocean


What is the difference between adaptations and evolving?

Evolving means change that is passed on. While adaptations means to live with the environment. What you do to keep warm or what you do to keep dry. This is learned behavior.

Can adaptations be physical and behavioral?

yes. It can be both behavioral and physical.well yes it can be both.Because they cant do actionn sometimes they have change sometimes and some times do both.Yes, adaptations can both be behavioral and structural.


What adaptations reduce completion among species?

Adaptations can reduce completion among species because certain adjustments must be made in order to survive. Animals that cannot adapt to change will not flourish.
