Compare and contrast the internal anatomy of the shark and the
bony fish. What are TWO major differences? Are these differences
related to adaptation to different modes of life, or are they more
likely to be related to genetic and developmental constraints?
1. What is ecology? What are abiotic and biotic factors?
2. What are the ways by which organisms interact with other
organisms? What is coevolution?
3. What are herbivores, carnivores and omnivores? In which group
do (most) humans belong? In which group do rabbits belong?
4. List and describe the role of the different types of
organisms within an ecosystem (refer to section 15.6).
Please type here the answer and write in easy words, thanks

i) In what ways is human population ecology similar to and
different from that of other organisms? Why is it difficult to
determine a carrying capacity for humans?”
ii) How has the global human population changed from
pre-historic times to 1800? From 1800 to the present? What is
projected over the next 50 years?
iii) How does the World Bank classify countries in terms of
economic categories?
iv) What are the environmental and...

same time.
C. individuals interacting with the environment
D. everywhere on the planet where life is able to exist

the non-living components of the area.

and research the anatomy of these body systems:
digestive

respiratory
cardiovascular
excretory/osmoregulatory
1. Identify 2-3 similar anatomical structures that appear in all
the animals for which there were posts. Why do you think these
structures have remained similar even though these animals are from
different phyla?
2. Which of these animals live on land and which live in the
water? Discuss which anatomical features are specifically adapted
to each environment.
3. Animals...
