1. In animals, the respiratory system is responsible for
exchanging gases with the environment. What organ
system of a plant has the same function?
______________________________
2. One of the functions of the shoot system and the leaf is
to make food (sugar) for the plant. What organelle
would you expect to find a lot of in the cells of these
structures that would allow them to do that?
______________________________
3. The circulatory system transports materials around the
body through a series of tubes (veins and arteries).
What organ system has this same job in plants?
______________________________
4. What type of tissue would you expect to find a lot of in
the system from your answer to question 3 that allows it
to have this function?
______________________________
5. The shoot system of a plant provides support for the
body and gives the plant its overall shape. What
organelle does this for the cells of a plant?
______________________________
6. The root system of a plant absorbs and stores water for
the plant to use later. What organelle would it need to
do this job?
______________________________
7. The root system also stores a large amount of the
minerals it absorbs from the soil. What type of tissue
would you expect to find a lot of in this system that allow
it to do this job?

8. The nervous system senses changes in the environment
and allows the organism to adapt. What organelle does
this for bacteria and archaea cells?
______________________________
9. The muscular system helps animals move. Name 2
organelles that help cells of bacteria, archaea, and
protists move.

10. The excretory system in animals helps them get rid of
excess water and wastes. What organelle helps a
protist do this same job?
______________________________
11. The digestive system of an animal holds and breaks
down food into simpler substances to be used by the
cells of the body. What 2 organelles does a protist use
to do this same job?

12. The digestive system breaks food into simpler
substances (like amino acids) for cells to use. Amino
acids are hooked together to make proteins. What
organelle would you expect to find a lot of in a cell that
was doing this?

13. The circulatory system transports materials around the
body through a series of tubes (veins and arteries).
Name an organelle does the same job within a cell.

14. The lymphatic/immune system helps destroy harmful
bacteria. What organelle would it need to do this job?
15. The integumentary system is mostly made up of your
skin. This forms a flexible barrier between the inside
and outside of your body. What organelle does this
same job for the cell?

Summary Questions
18. We focused mainly on the organs and organ systems of plants and animals in this lab. Why
didn’t we look at any bacteria or archaea organs or organ systems? ______________________
