Adaptations
- An adaptation is a structure or habitat that helps an organism to survive in its habitat.
Examples
- Butterflies have long tubular mouthparts so they can drink nectar
- Primroses bloom early in spring to avoid competition with other plants
Competition
- Competition occurs when two or more organisms require something that is in short supply
Examples
- Plants compete for light, space and water
- Animals compete for food, shelter, mates
Interdependence
Means that living things depend on each other for survival
Example
- Buttercups rely on bees for pollinating their flowers and bees rely on the buttercups for food, (nectar)
