Physiological Adaptations

Physiological processes take place inside the body.Reflexes and temperature and water regulation are examples of physiological processes that take place inside the body.Some organisms produce poisons: some plants produce poisons or toxins in their leaves to prevent them from being eaten.Snakes produce venom to kill their prey and some fungi and bacteria produce antibiotics to kill bacteria.Desert plants and animals such as cacti and the frog Cyclorana platycephala store water in their tissues (water-holding).The frog stores water in its body and can survive up to a year without access to water.
