true or false

True or false
True
What structure do carnivorous plants use to obtain nutrients in poor soil?

How does variation help populations to survive?
variation can allow at least some in the population to survive when the environment change.
Many adaptations only need one body part or function and help the organism survive
True or false
false
Many adaptations involve several body parts or functions to help organisms survive.
Inborn complex behavior pattern
Instincts
the aerial roots of the mangrove help support the plant on solid ground and filter salt.
True or false
false
the aerial roots of the mangrove help support the plant on soggy ground and filter salt.
How do scientists who believe in creation explain adaptation?
god designed these creatures with structures and the ability to change so they can survive.
3 ways mimics imitate other animals
shape, colors, sound
communicating is an example of what kind of behavior?
learned behavior
How are succulents adapted for survival?
they have parts that are adapted to store water and prevent moisture loss.
