This adaptation is behavioral and it helps the populations survive because the males that have a better dance have better fitness and can pass that on to offspring]]> 2018-02-05 17:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228225388 https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228228463 When the leaf width grows, it maximizes photosynthesis. So when the leaves width got bigger it was able to make more food and get more energy from it which lets the plants live longer and have more energy. Also produces healthier offspring. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228228463 https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228228581 Since plants have to absorb a good amount of water from the soil to survive they had to find a way to get those large amounts of water. The root hairs slowly over time have gained a large surface area to speed up the process of osmosis to make it more efficient.

It’s a structural adaptation and it helps survive by making us be able to grasp things.

Therefore it's our body's ability to uptake and deliver oxygen to the muscles so we can continue exercising. A fitter person can extract oxygen from the blood much more efficiently than an unfit person.

This adaptation helps the organism by allowing it to be able to grab things or to hold on to objects.

Usually the male starts the courtship and the female chooses to either mate or reject the male based on his performance. The lizard with the best song gets the chance to mate. This could help the organisms survive better because it could pass its vocalizations down to its offspring to win the female. ]]> 2018-02-05 17:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228234209 https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228235133 This claw serves many purposes, the claw can intimidate predators, fend off predators, attract females and be used to catch prey/nutrience. This claw is extremely powerful and can apply alot  of pressure. This adaption is structural and is essential to the crabs survival seeing as how it is used commonly on most species for almost every activity in the crabs life.]]> 2018-02-05 17:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228235133 https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228235704 Muck ox will surround their young to protect them when they feel in dangered that is an example of a structural adaptaion because they are strong enough to protect their young]]> 2018-02-05 17:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228235704 https://padlet.com/bellingham/1se2fgix8l0b/wish/228235970 It’s a structural adaptation because it is a physical feature.

With a white underside they blend in with the light when looked from under, and with a dark top side they are harder to be seen when looked at from above because they blend in with the darkness of the ocean floor.
