Part a of your query, dear Rk Naresh , can most possibly explained by the biological learning curve, adaptive learning, which starts with reflexes. Part b , imo, depends on the type of organism, e.g. the hydraulic civilization was of great importance for human advancement, i.e. in the early stages of environmental control by humans, the absence of hydraulic power disadvantaged certain human groups in their respective growth. In this sense, the cultural history of humans, for example, can be understood and modelled as a continuation of natural history by adaptation and cognition, in terms of social learning processes.

Dr Stephen I. Ternyik thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Change in an organism's environment forces the organism to adapt to fit the new environment, eventually causing it to evolve into a new species. In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment. Climate change can alter where species live, how they interact, and the timing of biological events, which could fundamentally transform current ecosystems and food webs. Climate change can overwhelm the capacity of ecosystems to mitigate extreme events and disturbance, such as wildfires, floods, and drought. Survival and reproduction depend on how well adapted individuals are to local climate patterns. Climate change can disrupt the match between organisms and their local environment, reducing survival and reproduction and causing subsequent impacts on populations or species' distributions across geographic regions. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive. This means adapting to be able to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem, predators, and other species that compete for the same food and space. Some of the factors which influence the growth of different living organisms can be divided into two distinct categories, which include internal and external factors. Internal factors include heredity, enzymes, and hormones and while the external factors include light, water, temperature, and minerals or nutrients. The number of organisms an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and abiotic factors, such as quantity of light and water, range of temperatures, and soil composition. The rate of growth or death of a particular microbial species is influenced by a variety of physical factors in its environment including temperature, osmotic pressure, pH, and oxygen concentration. This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche. If a species becomes very well adapted to its environment, and if the environment does not change, species can exist for a very long time before they become extinct. They include factors such as light, radiation, temperature, water, chemicals, gases, wind and soil. In some environments, such as marine environments, pressure and sound can be important abiotic components.Warmth, moisture, pH levels and oxygen levels are the four big physical and chemical factors affecting microbial growth. In most buildings, warmth and moisture are the biggest overall issues present. Dampness is a big player in the growth of fungi.
