Types of Adaptations
• Structural adaptations are the way something is built or made.
• Behavioral adaptations are the
way something acts naturally or by instinct.

Structural Adaptations • Adaptations to get food
– Leaves and stems absorb energy from the sun.

Behavioral Adaptations • Adaptations to get food
– Plants lean or grow towards the sun. – Roots grow down into soil. – Vines climb up trees to catch sunlight.

Behavioral Adaptations • Adaptations to get food
– Plants like the Venus fly trap, trap insects for food.

Structural Adaptations • Adaptations to get water and
nutrients –Roots soak up water and nutrients
from soil.

Behavioral Adaptations • Adaptations to get water and
nutrients – Desert flowers can stay dormant for
months, only coming to life when it rains.

Structural Adaptations • Adaptations for reproduction
– Brightly colored flowers with nectar attract pollinators such as birds, bees and insects.

Structural Adaptations • Adaptations for reproduction
– Sweet fruit attracts animals that spread seeds far away.
– Some seeds are shaped to catch the wind.

Behavioral Adaptations
• Adaptations for reproduction – Plants drop seeds to grow new
offspring.

Structural Adaptations
• Adaptations for defense – Spines and thorns protect plants from
predators

Structural Adaptations
• Adaptations for defense – Poison Ivy and Poison oak have toxins
that give predators a painful itchy rash.

Plant Adaptations for different Biomes

Desert Adaptations – Small leaves or spines on desert plants
conserve water.
– Thick waxy skin holds in water. – Roots near the soils surface soak up rain
water quickly before it evaporates.

Grassland Adaptations • Deep roots help plants survive prairie fires. • Narrow leaves lose less water than broad
leaves. • Flexible stems bend in the wind.

Tundra Adaptations • Small plants grow close to the ground for
warmth. • Dark colored flowers absorb heat from the
sun. • Fuzzy stems provide protection from wind.

Rainforest Adaptations • Smooth, slippery bark keeps vines from
killing trees. • Slide shaped leaves lets rain run off so
fungus doesn’t grow on plants.

Temperate Forest Adaptations • Thick bark protects trees and dropping
leaves in winter conserves water and nutrients during cold winters.

Water Adaptations • Flexible stems move with water currents. • Floating seeds spread offspring.
