Answer 1

Each point: 1 Mark

1. Structural adaptations are special body parts of an organism that help it to survive in its natural habitat (e.g., skin colour, shape, and body covering).

2. Behavioural adaptations are special ways in which a particular organism behaves to survive in its natural habitat.

3. Physiological adaptations are systems present in an organism that allow it to perform certain biochemical reactions (e.g., making venom, being able to keep a constant body temperature).
