Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees)
Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago.
It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive all these years. They are extremely intelligent with a slower rate of evolution. They are capable to use their brains to solve problems and to strategically think. They also can use tools for survivals. In order for them to survive they require food, water, shelter and space. Studies have shown that chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor and may have co-existed. Scientist have discovered that chimpanzees living in different parts of Africa where they have their own customers and traits that are passed from one generation to another by learning rather than by instinct.
Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees)
Anatomy: The chimpanzees and humans facial structure are very similar. The internal anatomy is almost the same between chimps and humans. The circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems are nearly identical.
Classification: Animalia. Animal with a backbone. Warm blooded.
Size: adult male chimpanzees grow to be about 4 feet tall and weighs 90 to 120 pounds. Their torso is the same as a human male with the exception of proportions. They have long arms and short legs which they mostly walk on all fours although they are capable of walking upright. Female chimpanzees are smaller in size they grow to be 2 – 3.5 feet weighing up to 110 pounds.
Diet & Food Source: Chimpanzees are omnivores. Their primary source of food includes fruits, insects and leaves. They are also meat eaters and will eat other monkeys. Because they have
