Which of these passages is an example of a functional text?

passage 1
circulatory systems are vital to every organism. in some, this system is simple. for example, in earthworms, the "heart" is just five branching blood vessels near the worm's head. the worm's heart does not pump; instead, blood and fluid move through the worm as it moves through the soil. the octopus, a more complex animal, has three hearts because its main heart does not pump strongly. humans only have one heart that is divided into four chambers. these chambers separate oxygen-rich blood from blood rich in carbon dioxide. regardless of its size, the circulatory performs many important jobs.

(from great astronomers by robert stawell ball)

(from great expectations by charles dickens)
