Functional AdaptationsA functional adaptation is a feature of the way
an organism’s body works.
EXAMPLES: 1. Increase in heart rate when you exercise. Your body automatically makes your heart beat faster to supply more blood to your muscle.
2. A snake can kill and eat a frog because its bodychemistry can produce poison.The production of poison is a functional adaptation because it helps the snake obtain food and therefore survive.
3. Photosynthesis is a functional adaptation because it is the chemical means by which the plant produces the food materials it requires.

Three-toed sloth —moves slowly so predators cannot see them. Blend in the rainforest because green algae grows on their fur
Red-eyed tree frog – Many scientist believe that red-eyed tree frogs can atleast shock their predators with their red eyes just long enough to get away.

Adaptation: behaviors & physical characteristics of a species that allows it to live successfully
• Every organism has a variety of adaptations
• Adaptations allow organisms to survive and fulfill a specific role in an ecosystem. This is called niches.
