Living things are adapted -- living things possess traits (structures, behaviors, physiology) called adaptations that help them to survive in their specific environment -- adaptations are the result of evolutionary processes, which we will discuss later in the semester -- e.g. various modification of forelimb structure for locomotion in mammals: cat, bat, mole, seal, and whale -- features of desert plants to conserve water.
