Transport

How does the composition of the transport medium change as it moves around an organism?

Inquiry Question

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
