QuestionAnswer

reflects a different species adaptation to a similar environmental challenge evolutionary convergence
impost constraints on an animals size and shape physical laws
an animals shape and size directly affects how it exchanges.. energy and materials with its surroundings
how does exchange of energy and materials occur in animals and their surroundings? substances dissolved in aqueous medium diffuse and transport across plasma membrane
fills space btw cells and allows movement of material into and out of cells interstitial fluid
