### Examples of Mammals
1. **Humans (Homo sapiens)**
2. **Elephants (Loxodonta africana)**
3. **Dolphins (Delphinus delphis)**
4. **Tigers (Panthera tigris)**
5. **Whales (Balaenoptera musculus)**
### Differences in Transport Systems: Mammals vs. Plants
1. **Type of Transport System:**
- **Mammals:** Mammals have a closed circulatory system where blood is contained within vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries). This allows for efficient transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
- **Plants:** Plants use an open transport system that involves xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to leaves, while phloem distributes organic nutrients, primarily sugars, throughout the plant.
2. **Medium of Transport:**
- **Mammals:** The medium of transport is blood, which consists of red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Blood circulates through the heart and blood vessels, driven by a muscular pump (the heart).
- **Plants:** The medium of transport consists of sap, which is primarily a mixture of water, sugars, and nutrients. Transport occurs through passive mechanisms (like evaporation for xylem) and active transport for phloem.
3. **Regulatory Mechanisms:**
- **Mammals:** Mammals regulate their transport system through a complex neurological and hormonal control system, adjusting blood flow and pressure to meet physiological demands.
- **Plants:** Plants regulate transport through osmosis, diffusion, and transpiration pull. They respond to environmental conditions (like light and humidity) but do not have a centralized control system like mammals.
