Summary Introduction
To determine:
The evident major theme for the statement given in the book: “The body and bill of a diving bird, the blue footed booby, is streamlined like a torpedo” and also explain how the statement relates to the theme.
Introduction:
By natural selection only those species survive that have acquired the trait which helps the species in survival by adaptation of any type like body parts. The

One of the challenges faced by animals when moving from an aquatic environment to a terrestrial
environment is resisting the force of gravity that is constantly pulling down on an organism.
Provide three different structural adaptations used by three different animal phyla (plural for
phylum), which aid in resisting the pull of gravity on land, allowing the organism to maintain its
body shape/structure.
As part of your answer, make sure to include
1. The name of the organism (common name or genus)
2. The phylum the animal belongs to
3. The specific structural adaption and how it works to resist the pull of gravity on land.

Each major group of organisms has evolved its own body part “tool kit" – a collection of structures that have evolved in ways that make specific functions possible. From capturing food to digesting it, and from reproducing to breathing, organisms use structures that have evolved into different forms as species have adapted to life in different environments. The structure of wings, for example enable birds and insects to fly. The structures of legs enable horses to gallop and kangaroos to hop. a. Think about your own teeth. What kinds of foods do you think human teeth are suited for? b. List at least three ways the structure of human teeth serves the function of eating these food materials. c. Now, finally apply the theme of structure and function to something you're very familiar with - your hands. List out all the ways you can think of that the structure of your hands serve the function of your hands.arrow_forward
