Part 2: Using the completed data table, answer the following
questions:
1. What is common among all samples?
· The reproductive system within all the samples are all
considered sexual in one form or another.
2. What is common among organisms from samples 1, 9, and
10?
· Samples 1, 9, and 10 are autotrophic in nature.
3. What is common between the circulatory system of organisms
from samples 5, 6, and 7, but different in organisms from
sample 4?
· The commonalities between 5, 6, and 7 are that they all are
closed with 4-chambered heart while sample 4 is closed with a
3-chambered heart.
4. What is common in the respiration system of organisms from
samples 2 and 4?
· Both of these samples process diffusion through the skin with
one exception, sample 4 can only process this as an adult.
5. What gas is delivered to the respiratory system of organisms
from samples 1, 9, and 10? Why?
· These samples produce Oxygen all through the process of
photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and releases
oxygen into the air. Without this gas in the air we could not
survive.
6. Which organisms are producers?
· Autotrophic organisms are the producers.
7. Which organisms are decomposers?

7. · The heterotrophic organisms are the decomposers.
8. Look at the surface of your hand. You will see the skin and
hair made up of protein called keratin. Which organisms did
humans inherit that protein from?
· Mammalia would be where we inherited keratin from. This
type of organism produces hair and skin just the same as a
human does.
9. Which organisms have blood?
· The Heterotrophic organisms have blood flowing through their
tiny little veins.
