In this chapter, we will learn about support, movement, and growth in animals and plants. We will explore how the size of an exoskeleton affects growth and how a hydrostatic skeleton allows for movement in animals.
We will also study the function of joints and muscles in human movement and discuss common problems with joints and muscles in daily life.
Additionally, we will examine the support systems in terrestrial and aquatic plants and learn how to determine the age of woody plants.
By the end of this chapter, we will have a better understanding of how support, movement, and growth are essential in both animals and plants.
• Explain with examples the types of support in animals
• Relate the size of exoskeleton with growth
• Relate hydrostatic skeleton with movement
• Elaborate the function of endoskeleton in animals
• Dissect the human skeletal system
• Carry out an experiment to differentiate the strength of compact bones with hollow bones
• Relate support system with animal’s stability
• Explain the function of joints and muscles in movement
• Generate ideas regarding problems with joints and muscles in daily life
• Explain the pattern of human growth
• Compare and contrast the growth pattern between male and female
• Explain the support systems in terrestrial and aquatic plants
• Determine the age of woody plants
• Relate the support system with stability in plants
• Carry out an experiment to determine a plant’s growth pattern
