- Submit your completed lab worksheet to the assignment box.
A scientist collected samples of various organisms and returned to the lab. For classification purposes, he or she needs to describe their external appearance and internal physiology. For this reason, he or she has designed a special table that you must 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.

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, submit this document to your instructor in your assignment box.
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/Class | 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 the 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, and type of fertilization)? | |||||
Excretory System How does the organism get rid of waste 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)? | |||||

Part 2: Using only information from your completed data table, answer the following questions:
- What is common among organisms from samples 1, 9, and 10?
- What is common between the circulatory systems of organisms from samples 5, 6, and 7, but is different in organisms from sample 4?
- What is common in the respiration systems of the organisms from samples 2 and 4?
- What gas is taken in by the respiratory system of organisms from samples 1, 9, and 10? How is it used by these organisms?
- According to the table, which organisms are producers (autotrophic)?
- According to the table, which organisms are consumers (heterotrophic)?
- Which organisms have true blood? Which have a blood-like substance?
