THEN:

  • Explain how things would change if the organism were to be transplanted to a significantly different environment: 
  • Describe the new environment specifically. (1 pts)
  • Would their organ system still be as efficient?  Why or why not? (2 pts)
  • Would the organism survive in this new environment?  Why or why not? (1 pts)

Might want to use prompts as headings.

 

+ Include a diagram with structures labelled and other appropriate pictures in your paper and make sure to provide a full reference for the images in your reference section. (2 pts)
