Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) allows for low power communication between devices. BLE devices are typically powered by button cell batteries and have operating ranges of less than 40 meters. BLE is designed for low cost, low power consumption, and high deployment volumes for uses like the Internet of Things and personal area networks. The document discusses BLE architecture, usage models, services and characteristics that devices provide to communicate functionality, and the iOS Core Bluetooth framework for communicating with BLE devices from iOS apps. It provides demos of using an iPhone as a BLE peripheral and connecting to BLE devices like a key fob simulator and heart rate monitor.

Organisms adapt to their environments in various ways to survive and reproduce. Physical adaptations include changes in coloration to camouflage from predators or changes during seasonal changes. Behavioral adaptations involve behaviors like hibernation to survive harsh conditions. There are different types of mimicry where one species mimics another for protection from predators by resembling the coloration or patterns of a defended species. Plants also have adaptations to survive in different environments like storing water, reducing leaf surface area, or having waxy coatings to reduce water loss in dry conditions.
