Blog #15 Compare two of the organisms that we have dissected Discuss at least 2 similarities and 3 differences

I would compare the two organisms: frog and squid. These two organisms have more differences than similarities.

The first similarity would be that these two specimen both have two eyes to see. The habitat is another similarity because they live in underwater where they have a membrane for their eye. They both have closed circulatory system, external reproduction, and a complex nervous system.

There are quite some differences between the frog and the squid. The frog has a vertebrate while the squid has an invertebrate. The frog also contains kidneys, a total of three chambered hearts, lungs, and a total of four limbs. The frog, however, can live in the water but it can also live in land. The frog also uses its hind legs to jump while a squid can't even jump. Now we can also compare the color of these two specimen. It is obvious that one animal is green and has black dots; a frog also can feel slimy while a squid's color is gray and soft and slippery.

The most obvious thing an animal has is a "pen" for the bone which is what a squid has, also for squirting ink just like an octopus. The octopus, however, has many limbs in which you cannot even tell how much there are because they may vary for one squid to a different squid. The squid mainly lives underwater swimming all day long. Therefore, a squid can be eaten but usually frogs are not eaten by humans even though it is considered as seafood.
