Question
Organ systems in different groups of animals exhibit various patterns of complexities. Explain.

Answer

In animals like annelids, arthropods, molluscs, echinoderms and chordates, organs have associated to form functional systems, where each system is concerned with a specific physiological function. This pattern is called organ system level of organisation. Organ systems in different groups of animals exhibit various patterns of complexities. For example, the digestive system in platyhelminthes has only a single opening to the outside of the body that serves as both mouth and anus and is hence called incomplete. A complete digestive system has two separate openings, mouth and anus.

Amrita's biology teacher taught in biology class that food helps in building the body and alsoprovides us energy to work. However, she was not able to understand the mechanisms involved. So, she discussed it with his father who is a professor of biology in a college. He answered that in living organisms certain structures, present in the cells and known as power houses of cells, which are responsible for conversion of food into energy. Read the above passage and answer the following questions.
