Responsiveness: Organisms respond to changes in their immediate environment; this property is also called irritability. You move your hand away from a hot stove; your dog barks at approaching strangers; fish are scared by loud noises; and amoebas glide toward potential prey.
Adaptations enable living organisms to cope with environmental stresses and pressures. One common form of physical adaptation is acclimatization. Acclimatization allows the organism to survive in a new environment. Adaptation can be structural or behavioral. Structural adaptations are special body parts of an organism that help it to survive in its natural habitat (e.g., skin color, shape, body covering). Behavioral adaptations are special ways a particular organism behaves to survive in its natural habitat.
