. Structure and function is a central theme to the study of biology. Each major group of
organisms has evolved its own body part “tool kit" – a collection of structures that have
evolved in ways that make specific functions possible. From capturing food to digesting
it, and from reproducing to breathing, organisms use structures that have evolved into
different forms as species have adapted to life in different environments. The structure
of wings, for example enable birds and insects to fly. The structures of legs enable
horses to gallop and kangaroos to hop.
a. Think about your own teeth. What kinds of foods do you think human teeth are
suited for?
b. List at least three ways the structure of human teeth serves the function of
eating these food materials.
c. Now, finally apply the theme of structure and function to something you're very
familiar with - your hands. List out all the ways you can think of that the
structure of your hands serve the function of your hands.
Activity 1
Direction: Make a semantic web about the two major
classification of animals.
