1. Living organisms have different limbs to move in their environments:

Organism	Adaptation of their limbs	Reason
Whales & dolphins	P addles (also called fins)	T o swim in aquatic environments.
Bats	W ings	F or flying
Horses	Strong legs	For running
Monkeys & gorillas	T heir arms & fingers are long & strong	T o climb trees & catch food.

2. Birds have different beak shapes & legs according to the food they eat & the environment they live in:

Organism	Adaptation of the mouth	Reason
P redatory birds such as hawks & vultures	-Sharp & crooked (curved) beaks. -Their fingers end with sharp claws.	To tear the prey. To catch the prey.
H eron	-Long thin beaks -Long thin legs & fingers.	To pick worms from shallow water To walk in shallow water ponds (their environment).
W ater birds such as ducks & geese	-Wide indented beaks . -Webbed feet (called palm)	To filter mosses from water. For swimming

3. Adaptation of insectivorous plants.(insects eating plants).

Drosera , dieonea & halphila are predating plants.

They perform photosynthesis & make carbohydrates (their food) like all green plants.

They also catch insects & digest them. the digested insects are the source of nitrogenous material (made from nitrogen). The insectivorous plants use nitrogenous material to build their bodies.
