Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Clarification statement: Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin.

Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems.
