1.1 The importance of having a transport system in some multicellular organisms.

a. Identify the problems that could be faced by multicellular organisms in obtaining their cellular
requirement and getting rid of waste product
b. Suggest how these problems are overcome in multicellular organisms

1.2 Transport

a. To describe how the substance in our body move from one part to the other part

b. Transport process varies in different types of organism

1.3 Difference transport in unicellular and multicellular organisms

Unicellular organism

They have large total surface area to volume (TSA/V) ratio that enable substance to diffuse
easily into the cell.

To obtain oxygen and nutrients directly from external environment

Carbon dioxide and other waste product also eliminated by diffusion through plasma membrane

So they do not need any internal transport system.


Functions of the circulatory system

Transporting substance around the body. (oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, nutrient, water,waste
product).

Controlling body temperature

Protecting the body. Blood contains cells and anti-bodies that fight infection and clotting agents to stop
bleeding.
