The five categories of adaptations commonly referenced are:
- Structural adaptations - changes to physical features or body parts (such as webbed feet on ducks).
- Physiological adaptations - internal body functions and processes that help survival (like venom production or concentration of urine).
- Behavioral adaptations - changes in actions or behaviors that aid survival (such as living in groups).
- Climatic adaptations - traits that help organisms survive specific climate conditions.
- Biochemical adaptations - chemical processes or substances produced that aid survival in the environment.
These categories cover physical traits, internal functions, behaviors, climate responses, and biochemical mechanisms that allow organisms to thrive in their environments.
