Overview
Ecosystems are dynamic environments where organisms must develop specific characteristics to survive and thrive. This chapter explores how plants and animals have evolved remarkable adaptations to suit different environmental conditions, from scorching deserts to deep ocean floors. Understanding the
Key Concepts
Features that organisms develop over time
Features that organisms develop over time to improve their survival in specific environmental conditions. These can be structural (body parts), physio
