You may have heard of the mnemonic MRS GREN but have you heard of MR N GREWW?
I have made a concept map based on what organisms need and what they do; that is their requirements and their function.
Your task is to find the eight (8) requirements and functions of all organisms in the chart below; MR N GREWW.
Build your own chart of the requirements and functions of all organisms
Arrange your chart so that it makes sense to you.
