ADAPTATIO
N
DISCUSSION
Plant adaptation refers to
the special features or
characteristics of a plant
that help it survive and
thrive in its environment.
DISCUSSION
These adaptations can be
structural, behavioral, or
physiological, allowing plants
to deal with challenges such as
drought, extreme
temperatures, poor soil, or
predators.
DISCUSSION
Plant Adaptations to
Specific Unfavorable
Conditions
• Lack of Rain (Drought):
The Agoho tree, commonly
found in coastal areas of the
Philippines, exhibits
adaptations to withstand
DISCUSSION
AGOHO TREE
DISCUSSION
Its needle-like leaves help
reduce water loss through
transpiration, while its deep
root system allows it to access
groundwater even during
extended dry periods.
DISCUSSION
Additionally, the tree's ability
to shed lower branches
conserves energy and
resources during droughts.
DISCUSSION
• Floods: The Bakawan tree,
also known as mangroves, thrive
in coastal regions prone to
flooding. These trees have
specialized aerial roots called
pneumatophores that emerge
from the soil and extend above
DISCUSSION
Pneumatophores facilitate gas
exchange, allowing the roots
to obtain oxygen even in
waterlogged conditions.
DISCUSSION
Additionally, mangrove leaves
excrete excess salt, enabling
the plant to survive in brackish
water environments.
DISCUSSION
BAKAWAN/MANGROVE TREE
DISCUSSION
• Strong Winds: The Bamboo
is a common sight in the
Philippines and is well-adapted
to withstand strong winds. Its
flexible and hollow culms
(stems) allow them to bend
without breaking during
typhoons and tropical storms.
DISCUSSION
Bamboo's extensive rhizome
system helps stabilize soil and
prevent erosion, enhancing its
resilience to strong winds.
DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION
• Poor Soil Nutrients: The Ipil-
ipil tree demonstrates
adaptations to thrive in nutrient
poor soils. It forms symbiotic
relationships with nitrogen-fixing
bacteria in its root nodules,
enabling it to convert
atmospheric nitrogen into a
DISCUSSION
Additionally, the tree's ability to
shed its leaves and recycle
nutrients contributes to its
resilience in nutrient-depleted
environments.
DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION
• Extreme Cold: The Benguet
Pine, found in the highlands of
the Philippines, exhibits
adaptations to survive extreme
cold temperatures.
DISCUSSION
Its needle-like leaves minimize
water loss through transpiration,
while its conical shape helps
shed snow and ice, reducing the
risk of branch breakage.

following questions:
M O T I VAT I O N
M O T I VAT I O N
1. What factors influence a
chameleon's ability to
change color?
M O T I VAT I O N
• Chameleons possess
specialized pigment cells called
chromatophores in their skin.
These cells allow them to alter
their color in response to various
stimuli such as temperature,
light, and emotional states.
M O T I VAT I O N
This adaptive mechanism helps
them regulate body
temperature, communicate with
other chameleons, and blend
into their environment for
camouflage.
M O T I VAT I O N
2. How do chameleons
achieve their color-changing
abilities at a cellular level?
M O T I VAT I O N
• Chameleons change color
by manipulating the spacing of
nanocrystals within their skin
cells. This process involves the
rearrangement of these
nanocrystals to reflect different
wavelengths of light, resulting
in a visible color change.
M O T I VAT I O N
This ability is primarily used for
communication and mating
displays rather than for
camouflage.
ANIMAL
ADAPTATIO
N
DISCUSSION
Animal adaptation refers
to the special features or
characteristics that animals
develop over time to survive,
reproduce, and thrive in their
environment.
DISCUSSION
These adaptations help
animals cope with
challenges such as finding
food, avoiding predators,
surviving extreme
temperatures, or living in
specific habitats.
DISCUSSION
• Camouflage: The Philippine
Tarsier, found in forests across
the Philippines, exhibits
excellent camouflage abilities.
DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION
Its grayish-brown fur matches
the color of tree bark, allowing
it to blend seamlessly into its
surroundings and evade
detection by predators or prey.
DISCUSSION
Additionally, its large eyes
provide enhanced night vision,
aiding in nocturnal camouflage.
DISCUSSION
• Mimicry: The Philippine
Cobra is known for its mimicry
of the False Coral Snake, which
possesses similar bright red
and black banding.
DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION
This mimicry serves as a
warning signal to potential
predators, deterring them from
attacking due to the mistaken
belief that the cobra is
venomous.
DISCUSSION
In reality, the Philippine Cobra
is highly venomous and uses
mimicry for defense.
DISCUSSION
• Migration
(Physical/anatomical and
behavioral adaptations):
The Philippine Eagle, also
known as the Monkey-eating
Eagle, showcases both physical
and behavioral adaptations
related to migration.
DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION
Physically, its large wingspan
allows it to soar long distances
across the Philippine
archipelago in search of prey.
