Cell type The rat has animal eukaryotic cells. The palm tree has plant eukaryotic cells.
NUTRITION FUNCTION OF RAT
Nutrition function of the rat Obtaining nutrients: They obtain nutrients with a mouth with teeth and tongue. They have a complex digestive tract. Breathing: They take oxygen from the air by the lungs. Circulation and excretion: They have a closed circulatory system with a heart. They use the kidneys and the anus.
NUTRITION FUNCTION OF RATS
Interaction function of the rat Interaction with the environment: The rat goes to the rubbish in search of food. Perception of information: They perceive the information by the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin. Processing and coordination: When they perceive information, it´s carried on through the nerves to the brain. Execution of responses: The information is carried on to the muscles to produce reactions.
REPRODUCTION FUNCTION OF PALM TREE
Reproduction function of the rat The rats have a sexual reproduction. The sperm enters in the ovule.
NUTRITION FUNCTION OF PALM TREE
Nutrition of the palm tree Obtaining nutrients: They perform the photosynthesis. Respiration: They absorb oxygen through the stomata to get energy by the mitochondria Substance distribution: They distribute the phloem sap throughout the plant. Eliminating waste matter: They keep the waste substances in old leaves.
Interaction function of the palm tree
They move towards the sun to obtain solar energy. They move very slowly. This is a nastic movement called photonasty. It also perform tropism. For example, the roots grow towards the earth using geotropism
Reproduction function of the palm tree
They have asexual reproduction. They reproduce through pollen.
Conclusion Rats and palm trees are living things and they perform the three vital functions. It is more evident when animals are performing the 3 vital functions than when plants are.
