Title: Taxonomy Lab to Show Organism Relationships

Instructions: You will need to fill out the data table and answer a set of questions.

When your lab report is complete, submit this document to your instructor in your assignment box.

Part 1: Using the lab animation, fill in the following data tables to help you answer the questions that follow:

Table 1: Samples 1–5

Phylum/Class

Sample 1: Chrysophyta

Sample 2: Annelida

Sample 3: Arthropoda

Sample 4: Amphibia

Sample 5: Aves

Common Feature

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 carbon dioxide?

Reproductive System

Does the organism use asexual or sexual reproduction (eggs, seeds, spores, placenta, and type of fertilization)?

Excretory System

How does the organism get rid of waste and maintain an ionic balance of fluids?

Growth and Development

Does the organism go through metamorphosis, develop in an egg or uterus, or grow from seeds?

Regulation

How does the organism control body processes (hormones, nervous system)?

Sample Organism

Table 2: Samples 6–10

Phylum/Class

Sample 6: Reptilia

Sample 7: Mammalia

Sample 8: Bryophyta

Sample 9:

Pinophyta

Sample 10: Anthrophyta

Sample Organism

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 from samples 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?
