 COMPETENCE STANDARD

2. To understand the viability of

organism.
 BASIC COMPETENCE

2.1. To identify the viability of organism by

adaptation, natural selection,
and reproduction
 Instructional Purposes
After done this material, hope the student be able to:

Differentiated between morphology, physiology, and

behavioral adaptation of organisms.
Mention the examples of morphology, physiology, and
behavioral adaptation of organisms.
 Viability of Organism

Influenced by:

NATURAL
ADAPTATION SELECTION
REPRODUCTION
A. Adaptation of Organism to
the Environment

Adaptation is the ability of organism

to adapt with their environment.
a. Morphology Adaptation
is the adjustment of external body
tools of an organism with its
environment.
1) Foot shape of bird
– Type: swimmer (duck), climber (woodpecker), rooster
(finch), walker (ostrich), holder/ gripper (eagle).
2) Beak shape of birds
– Type: seed eater (kakak tua bird), meat eater (eagle), fish
eater (duck), honey sucker (hummingbird)
3) Mouth shape of animals
– Type: biter (grasshopper), skewer and sucker (mosquito),
bootlicker (fly), and sucker (butterfly).
4) Extremity of animals
– Type: fin (dolphin), wings (bird), thin membrane (bat),
front foot (sheep), and arms (human).

extremity
5) Land Plant
a) Xerophytes, live in the dry place/ less of water, ex:
contohnya cactus.
b) Higrophytes, live in the moist place. Ex: moss.

6) Water Plant
Hidrophytes, live in the watery place/ water. Ex:
lotus.

b. Physiology Adaptation
is the adjustment of the internal body
parts of organism with their
environment.
 Examples of Physiology Adaptation:
1) Herbivore can digest the grass or leave which
contain many fibers (cellulose) by helping of
cellulose enzyme.
2) Sharpness of sight sense of owl in the night.
3) Sharpness of smelling sense of dog.
4) Sharpness of hearing sense of bat.
5) Teredo navalis whose life in the ship wood can
digest the wood by helping of cellulose enzyme.
c. Behavioral Adaptation
is the adjustment of the organism
behavior with their environment.
 Some examples of Behavioral
Adaptation
a. Mimikri
is the ability to change the skin color suitable with its environment, ex:
chameleon.
b. Autotomi
ex: the lizard that cut/ break its tail in disadvantage condition.
c. Hibernation
ex: pole bear in the winter season.
d. Aestivation
ex: little lemur sleep along the summer season to avoid the high temperature
and decreases of water.
e. Water animal adaptation
ex: whale appear to the water surface to take the oxygen.
Examples of Behavioral
Adaptation
 conclusion

Organism keep their kinds by doing adaptation.

Where is adaptation is the ability of organism to
adapt with their environment. There are 3 kinds
of adaptation: morphology (shape of bird beak),
physiology (osmoregulation), and behavioral
adaptation (mimikri).
