Assignment: Structure And Functions Of Organs
Identify an organism that lives within 50 miles of your home.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper about how the organism has adapted to survive in their specific environment. Include the following points in your paper:
• Briefly describe the environment (temperature, landscape, food sources, etc.) and describe the organism's role in the environment. Determine which organism your chosen organism would be most closely related to using a phylogenetic tree.
• Identify the structures and functions of the main organs found in your selected organism.
• Explain how the organism has evolved physiologically to become suited to its environment.
• Explain how things would change if the organism were to be transplanted to a significantly different environment:
• Would their organ system still be as efficient? Why or why not?
• Would the organism survive in this new environment? Why or why not?
Include the diagram and other appropriate pictures in your paper and make sure to provide a full reference for the images in your reference section.
