Tentacles of an octopus as well limbs of a lizard are analogous structures.
Analogous structures or organs perform the same function in different organisms that bear no resemblance to each other anatomically. Analogous structures are formed as a result of convergent evolution, i.e. different structures evolving for the similar function and thus having similarity. Tentacles of an octopus as well as limbs of a lizard are used for the similar function, i.e. locomotion in this case.
On the other hand, homologous structures result from divergent evolution. Homologous organs contain a similar basic structure but perform distinct functions in different organisms.
Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter. Many organisms use carbon to make calcium carbonate, a building material of shells and skeletons
