Student Instructions For each assignment, you will use the M.U.S.E. link to complete the lab. A scientist collected samples of various organisms and returned to the lab. For classification purposes, they need to describe their external appearance and internal physiology. For this reason, they have designed a special table you need to fill out. Taxonomy to Show Relationships Between Organisms Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and animation to complete your report. Use the Lab 5 worksheet for assignment instructions and data collection. Use the Lab 5 worksheet data to answer a series of questions related to the relationship between organisms. Please submit your completed assignment. For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials. Course Materials |

Assignment: SCIE207 Phase 5 Lab Report
Title: Taxonomy Lab to Show Organism Relationships
Instructions: You will need to fill out the data table and answer a set of questions.
When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
Part 1: Using the lab animation, fill in the following data tables to help you answer the questions that follow:
Table 1: Samples 1–5
|
Phylum/Division |
Sample 1: Chrysophyta |
Sample 2: Annelida |
Sample 3: Arthropoda |
Sample 4: Amphibia |
Sample 5: Aves |

Common Feature |
||||||
|
Nutrition How does the organism break down and absorb food? |
||||||
|
Circulatory System (Transport) How does the organism get what it needs to cells (open, closed, diffusion only)? |
||||||
|
Respiratory System How does the organism get oxygen and release carbon dioxide? |
||||||
|
Reproductive System Does the organism use asexual or sexual reproduction (eggs, seeds, spores, placenta, type of fertilization)? |
||||||
|
Excretory System How does the organism get rid of wastes and maintain an ionic balance of fluids? |
||||||
|
Growth and Development Does the organism go through metamorphosis, develop in an egg or uterus, or grow from seeds? |
||||||
|
Regulation How does the organism control body processes (hormones, nervous system)? |

Table 2: Samples 6–10
|
Sample 6: Reptilians |
Sample 7: Mammalia |
Sample 8: Bryophyta |
Sample 9: Gymnosperm |
Sample 10: Angiosperm |
Part 2: Using the completed data table, answer the following questions:
1. What is common among all samples?
2. What is common among organisms from samples 1, 9, and 10?
3. What is common between the circulatory system of organisms from samples 5, 6, and 7, but different in organisms from sample 4?
4. What is common in the respiration system of organisms from samples 2 and 4?
5. What gas is delivered to the respiratory system of organisms from samples 1, 9, and 10? Why?
6. Which organisms are producers?
7. Which organisms are decomposers?
8. Look at the surface of your hand. You will see the skin and hair made up of protein called keratin. Which organisms did humans inherit that protein from?
9. Which organisms have blood?
