QuestionsThe Penguin lives in the Antarctic, a very cold environment. Explain how it has adapted to cope with these conditions (4)
The polar bear and the penguin have both adapted to survive extremely cold environments, and deep sea creatures have adapted for the cold, dark oceans. Explain and compare how and why these organisms have adapted to survive (6)
