GCSE Biology - Adaptations | Structural | Behavioural | Functional (2026/27 exams)

⭐️ Check out our website https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️

** WHAT'S COVERED **
1. Why organisms need to be adapted to their environment to survive.
2. The three types of adaptations explained:
Structural adaptations (physical features like shape, colour).
Behavioural adaptations (how an organism acts or behaves, e.g., migration, cooling techniques).
Functional adaptations (internal body processes like metabolism, water conservation).
3. Examples illustrating each type of adaptation in various animals (e.g., polar bears, owls, seals, walruses, elephants, swallows, desert animals, camels).
4. Analysing an example exam question about brown bear adaptations.
5. Extremophiles:
Definition (microorganisms adapted to extreme conditions).
Examples of extreme environments (hot springs, salt lakes, deep sea vents, space station exterior).
