[5/24, 9:11 AM] Solution:

1.
a.
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves

b.
Three observable features of specimen B (whole liver from domestic fowl) could include:

  1. Dark red color
  2. Smooth texture
  3. Irregular shape

c.
(i) Functions of specimen B (whole liver from domestic fowl) to the organism:

  1. Metabolism: The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing nutrients and detoxifying harmful substances.
  2. Storage: The liver stores essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
  3. Regulation: The liver helps regulate blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels.

(ii) Functions of specimens D (whole gizzard from domestic fowl) and E (whole intestine from domestic fowl) to the organism:
D. Grinding: The gizzard helps grind food particles before digestion.
E. Absorption: The intestine absorbs nutrients from digested food.

(iii) Adaptations of specimens D and E to the functions stated in 1(c)(ii):
D. Tough lining: The gizzard has a tough lining made of keratin to aid in grinding food effectively.
E. Villi: The intestine has finger-like projections called villi to increase surface area for better nutrient absorption.
