Transport

Overview

• Investigate transport systems in animals and plants by comparing structures and components using physical and digital models, including but not limited to:
  • Macroscopic structures in plants and animals
  • Microscopic samples of blood, the cardiovascular system and plant vascular systems
• Investigate the exchange of gases between the internal and external environments of plants and animals
• Compare the structures and function of transport systems in animals and plants, including but not limited to:
  • Vascular systems in plants and animals
  • Open and closed transport systems in animals
• Compare the changes in the composition of the transport medium as it moves around an organism
