Question

1)What property of water molecules allows both animals and plants to transport ions?

2)What is a key difference between fluid transport in plants and in animals (with a closed circulatory system)?

3)What is true about the surface area to volume ratio in living organisms?

4)Why is bulk transport necessary in both plants and animals?

5)What is a key difference between the responses of animals and plants to their environments?

6)Which of the below is only found in animals?

7)Which of the below is correct concerning differences between plant and animal immune systems?

ability to covalently bond with solutes

Explanation / Answer

1.Polarity

2.Specialised fluid in animals must transport large amounts of oxygen,whereas fluids in plants do not transport large amounts of oxygen.

3.It means that diffusion becomes more efficient in larger organisms and the square of the distance also increases.

4.Bulk transport shows by exocytosis,endocytosis and dissussion is inefficient over longer distances.

5.Only animals are capable of performing an active response to an external stimulus.

6.All are found in bothe animals and plants.

7.Animals have innate but not adaptive immunity.
