Structural adaptations in organisms: JAMB Biology Past Questions and Answers

What the JAMB syllabus covers in Structural adaptations in organisms

Our summary: Body features that help organisms feed, defend themselves, find mates, control temperature and save water.

  • Structural adaptations in organisms

Objectives

  • describe how the various structures, functions and behaviour adapt these organisms to their environment, and way of life.
  • account for adaptation in organisms with respect to the following: obtaining food (beaks and legs of birds, mouthparts of insects, especially mosquito, butterfly and moth); protection and defence (stick insects, praying mantis and toad); securing mates (redhead male and female Agama lizards, display of feathers by birds); regulating body temperature (skin, feathers and hairs); conserving water (spines in plants and scales in mammals).
