Chapter 3: Transportation
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about transportation in organisms. We will explore transport systems' function in complex and simple organisms and compare and contrast their functions.
We will also study the blood circulatory system, focusing on the structure and functions of the heart and blood vessels in humans.
We will learn about the components and constituents of human blood, as well as the different blood groups and the effects of receiving incompatible blood.
Lastly, we will delve into the transport system in plants, specifically transpiration. We will conduct experiments to investigate the factors that affect the rate of transpiration.
