Transport Systems in Plants and Humans
Every cell needs supplies — but how do materials reach cells deep inside a plant or your body?
Evidence you will build
- Heart rate investigation dataset
- Diffusion/osmosis observation log
- Annotated transport system diagram
- Comparison of plant vs human transport explanation
Why this matters
Transport systems explain how aquaponics, health, and ecosystems move water, nutrients, and oxygen — knowledge used in food and restoration work.
What you will investigate and collect
You will compare plant and human transport, run a heart-rate investigation, and link results to systems thinking. How substances move in tissues and how transport systems maintain supply across an organism. Heart rate data, diffusion/osmosis observations, annotated diagrams.
- Date and time
- Condition
- Heart rate (bpm)

- Field markerLaser cut
Mark monitoring sites reliably across sessions
Consistency between visits makes population or count evidence comparable.
- Insect hotel segmentLaser cut
Prototype habitat inserts informed by trap data
Evidence about which guilds appeared suggests what materials matter first.
