Learning Activities/Assessment Tasks:

1. What are the characteristic/s of an organism that qualifies it to be classified

under Kingdom Plantae?
-These are multicellular eukaryotes with cell wall and vacuoles.
-They should be autotrophs.
-They show alternation of generation.
-Mostly have transport system.
-They usually produce sexually.

2. What are the basic parts and functions of plant body parts?
-Roots: The major part of the plant that secures the plant steadily in the soil. They
absorb the water and minerals from the dirt and store reserve food material.
-Stems: It is the one that supports the plant and helps in vegetative propagation.
This is also where the transportation happens and can be used as a storage too.
-Leaves: It is the most important part of the plant. Photosynthesis, Transpiration,
and Reproduction takes place in the leaves.
-Flowers: They help in the union of male and female gametes. This where
reproduction occurs. They also provide nectars to birds and insects which in turn help
them in the transport of pollen.
-Fruits: They help the plant by protecting the seeds and in assisting seed
dispersal.
 3. Illustrate and explain the Alternation of Generation in plants.
- Alternation of Generation is the process where it allows both the inconsistent act
of sexual and stable act of asexual reproduction. The haploid multicellular organism or
gametophyte (n) are created through the Mitosis of eggs and sperm (haploid gametes).
The gametes will go through Fertilization and produce diploid zygotes (2n). Along the
division of the zygote, a diploid known as sporophyte is formed while along the
Meiosis, the sporophyte would create spores, which act as the sporophytes'
reproductive cells and then it would evolve into a new haploid organism.

4. What are the four (4) major plant classification? What are the characteristics and
examples for each classification?
-Bryophytes: It is mostly seen in damp or shaded areas, it also lacks the vascular
system and they have a root-like, stem-like and leaf-like structure. Examples:
Hornworts and Mosses
- Pteridophytes: It is considered as the earliest plant that has evolved on land and its
sex organs are multicellular. Examples: Fern and Horsetail
- Gymnosperms: They can be seen in colder regions where there is snow and they
have sharp, needle-like leaves. They compose cones with reproductive system.
Examples: Pines and Ginkoes
- Angiosperms: Its fertilization process is quicker than the other plants. It can
survive in a variation of habitats, including aquatic habitat. Examples: Bushes and
Tulips
Laboratory Exercise 1:
Go outside your house but stay within the perimeter. Document/take photos of one (1)
plant belonging to each major classification. Try to identify the common name and
scientific name of the plant. Identify the parts of each plant.
Classification: Angiosperms
Common Name: Snake Plant
Scientific Name: Sansevieria Bacularis Mikado
