Sentence examples for functionally adapted from inspiring English sources

Although their eyes are structurally and functionally adapted for seeing, it is believed that their visual acuity in discerning the form and colour of an object varies between species.

One difficulty faced by materialist theories of living things is to account for the existence and regular reproduction of functionally adapted forms in the natural world.

The cardiovascular systems of animals are functionally adapted to overcome pressure and gravitational forces that change according to the features of organisms (e.g., height, size, shape), their behaviour (e.g., diving, running, flying), and the habitat occupied (e.g., water, hot deserts, cold tundra).

Organisms inhabiting the deep sea appear to be functionally adapted to the high-pressure and low-temperature conditions that prevail, suggesting that hyperbaric and thermal effects have made significant adaptive demands on shallow-water organisms colonising deeper water.

Considering the low-light environment, the phylogenetic ancestors of Physcomitrella may have lost its ancestral chloroplast APx gene even before the novel gene was functionally adapted by evolution of suitable promoter elements and chloroplast targeting signals.

The oxygen requirements of cold and deep-living species do not appear to be elevated (Childress et al., 1990; Peck & Conway, 2000; Drazen & Seibel, 2007; Seibel & Drazen, 2007) suggesting they are functionally adapted to high hydrostatic pressure and low temperature (Childress, 1995).

Here we discuss how a neurobiological system property, degeneracy (i.e., many coordinative structures to achieve one function), can help us understand how skilled individuals functionally adapt perception and action to interacting constraints during performance.

Here, we discuss some limitations of this traditional perspective, addressing how athletes functionally adapt perception and action to the dynamics of complex performance environments by continuously perceiving information to regulate goal-directed actions.

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to structurally and functionally adapt to its dynamic and continuously changing environment.

It follows that upon completion of their differentiation and maturation, alpha and beta cells, by virtue of the secretion of their signature hormones glucagon and insulin, have adapted to functionally opposing roles in glucose metabolism.

Notably, many of the stress-induced changes are plastic and reversible in nature, for this phenomena we use the term "neuroplasticity", which refers to the general capacity of the brain to adapt functionally or structurally to a change in demands, and we further specify when particular forms of plasticity are discussed.
