Part 1

Identify an organism that lives within 50 miles of your home.

Write a 1,200- to 1,400-word paper about how the organism has adapted to survive in their specific environment. Include the following points in your paper:

• Briefly describe the environment (temperature, landscape, food sources, etc.) and describe the organism’s role in the environment. Determine which organism your chosen organism would be most closely related to using a phylogenetic tree.
• Identify the structures and functions of the main organs found in your selected organism.
• Explain how the organism has evolved physiologically to become suited to its environment.
• Explain how things would change if the organism were to be transplanted to a significantly different environment:
• Would their organ system still be as efficient? Why or why not?
• Would the organism survive in this new environment? Why or why not?

Include the diagram and other appropriate pictures in your paper and make sure to provide a full reference for the images in your reference section.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines including references and in-text citations. Your paper should include a well written introduction and conclusion. Use only academic research sources.

Part 2

Imagine you have been asked to teach a small group of your peers about animal organs.

Create 10 multiple-choice questions to test knowledge of the structure and function of animal organs.

Address the functions of each of the following concepts in your test.

• Differences between asymmetrical, radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry.
• Differences between endotherms and exotherms.
• Definition and examples of epithelial tissue. (provide one example)
• Definition and examples of connective tissue. (provide one example)
• Definition and examples of muscle tissue. (provide one example)
• Definition and examples of nervous tissue. (provide one example)

Use the Physiology Test Template (See attachment ) to complete this assignment.

Cite your sources according to APA guidelines.
