1. Need for a Circulatory System

  • All living organisms need nutrients, gases, and liquids for growth and body maintenance.
  • In unicellular organisms, diffusion and osmosis are enough because the distance is small.
  • In multicellular organisms, materials must be transported over long distances, so a special transport system is needed.
