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 follows

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?
