How some cells are adapted to their functions 1. How organs enable life processes to take place in plants and animals - with sample exam question and answers. Large multi-cellular organisms need to organise their many cells to do particular jobs to overcome the problems of distance and complexity due to size. These common groups of cells are called tissues . Different tissues then combine to form specialised organs .
Organs have particular functions within living organisms.
The question Complete the table below naming the animal or plant organ that matches the life process and function given. The first answer is given as an example. You must match your knowledge of organs in animals and plants to the life processes and functions given gaining one mark for each. You should have the confidence to know that lungs and gills are all organs of respiration in animals such as mammals and fish - so that any of these two responses will be marked as correct. Similarly, plants have two points of growth their shoots and their root-tips, so either is correct.
