2. The Sloth
- a) Functional Adaptation
- b) The Sloth’s slow digestive
system with multiple
compartments in the stomach
where symbiotic bacteria
killers are produced.
- c) The Sloth’s food is mainly
made of thick leaves that can
be infected and their
complicated and slow-
digesting process is essential
for them to be able to live of
what little nutrition leaves can
provide for them. Their special
stomach juices allow them to
keep the same diet without
getting sick.
3. The Venus Flytrap
- a) Behavioural Adaptation
- b) The plants carnivorous nature.
- c) The Venus Flytrap still gets its
main source of nutrition from
photosynthesis and this it’s green
colour, however, the plant must
adapt to the dry soil in which it is
found and there for needs sources of
nutrition that do not solely depend on
the soil and the sun. This extra
nutrition is provided by insects that
the plant is able to snare and
consume.
