Adaptations of Sea Creatures 2/11/13

1.What are some typical adaptations for these animals and why ? Your own words; paraphrase.
-Lack of plymentation
-Reduction in size of eyes.
-Development of sensory mechanisms that do not depend on light for detecting food or predators.

2.Why is oxygen not plentiful in caves and how do creatures deal with the lack of oxygen?
Because there is no photosynthesis and very limited water circulation in the caves.

3.Why do adaptions occur ?
Happen at random events and if they provide an advantage the organism is more likely to survive and reproduce than other organisms with these same adaptions.
