Nutrition
How does the organism break down and absorb food?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Circulatory System (Transport)
How does the organism get what it needs to the cells (open, closed, diffusion only)?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Respiratory System
How does the organism get oxygen and release carbondioxide?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reproductive System
Does the organism use asexual or sexual reproduction (eggs, seeds, spores, placenta, and type of fertilization)?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExcretorySystem
How does the organism get rid of waste and maintain an ionicbalance of fluids?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Growth and Development

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Regulation

Part 2: Using only information from your completed data table, answer the following questions:
1. What is common among organisms from samples 1, 9, and 10?
2. What is common between the circulatory systems of organisms from samples 5, 6, and 7, but is different in organisms from sample 4?
3. What is common in the respiration systems of the organisms from samples 2 and 4?
4. What gas is taken in by the respiratory system of organisms fromsamples 1, 9, and 10? How is it used by these organisms?
5. According to the table, which organisms are producers (autotrophic)?
6. According to the table, which organisms are consumers (heterotrophic)?
7. Which organisms have true blood? Which have a blood-like substance?
