  • Briefly describe the environment (temperature, landscape, food sources, etc.) and describe the organism’s role in the environment.
  • Identify the structures and functions of the main organs found in your selected organism.
  • Explain how the organism in the diagram has evolved physiologically to become suited to its 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?
