become an adaptation. Structural and Behavioral Adaptations An adaptation can be structural, meaning it is a physical part of the organism. An adaptation can also be behavioral, affecting the way an organism acts. An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in the desert. Deserts are dry, hot places.
