Needs of Organisms are Related to Age and Health In order for the jaguar to stay healthy and fit it needs to be able to catch it’s pray so it can eat it. If the jaguar is young than it has it’s mom and dad need to hunt for it in order for it to get the nutrients it needs to survive and grow up to one day catch it’s own food. The jaguar needs to have strong leg muscles in order to catch animals like crocodiles, rodents, monkeys, birds, and sloths.
Needs of Organisms are Related to Needs of Cells In order for the toucan to maintain a well-balanced organism, it needs to consume the right amount of energy to receive cells. These cells are built up from the food that is eaten and is used in the form of it’s energy. The tree frog, in which the toucan eats, gives the toucan the proper build up of cells.
