Simple unicellular organisms such as an amoeba do not need a transport system. Organisms such as human beings would die without an elaborate transport system. Using the  components of the circulatory system as a point of reference, discuss the need for a transport system in large organisms such as human beings.

The Purpose of a circulatory (Transport) System in multicellular organisms

Image
The Purpose of a Circulatory (Transport) System To transport nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body so they can function properly. To remove the waste that are produced by cells to a point where they can be removed from the body.e.g urea-to the skin and kidneys, carbon dioxide –to the lungs etc To move other chemicals such as hormones, antibodies and blood proteins around the body   Transport in Unicellular organisms ·         Single celled (unicellular eg, amoeba ) organisms get their nutrients, oxygen and remove their waste by diffusion . ·         These substances (food, oxygen, waste etc) diffuse into and out of the bodies of unicellular organisms through their cell membranes. ·         This is because no part of the body of these single cellular organisms is too far away from their surrounding or environment (which is usually water or moist areas).  ...
