What’s More Activity 2: Answer the Riddle!

1) It is a jelly-like fluid structure inside the cell that provides an area of movement for all dissolved molecules that keep the cell
working.
🧬CYTOPLASM
2) A structure found in the nucleus that helps produce ribosomes.
🧬NUCLEOLUS

3) It is a thin layer around the cell but not a rigid one. It has openings to allow
transportation and exchange of materials.
🧬 CELL MEMBRANE

4) When a cell needs energy, it brings in nutrients and break it down and supply energy
to the cell.
🧬MITOCHONDRIA

5) Cell storage.
🧬VACUOLE

6) It helps produce food for plants and absorbs light energy from the sun and use it to
convert C02 and H20 into sugar and oxygen.
🧬CHLOROPLASTS

7) It helps produce food for plants and absorbs light energy from the sun and use it to
convert C02 and H20 into sugar and oxygen.
🧬LYSOSOMES

8) These build proteins in the cell and can be found in several places in the cells which
includes in the cytosol and on the endoplasmic reticulum.
🧬RIBOSOMES

9) They do the DNA synthesis and direct the genetic information of the cell. These are
made of DNA and found in the nucleus and usually in pairs.
🧬CHROMOSOMES

10) Brain of the cell.

🧬NUCLEUS

11) An organelle that serves as the transport system.

🧬ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

12) It is only found in the plant cells that support the plant which is also made of specialized
sugar called cellulose.
🧬CELL WALL

13) It gathers molecules and make them more complex. It also stores them or send them
into the cytosol or out of the cell. This organelle also processes the proteins produced
by the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes.
🧬GOLGI APPARATUS

14) It does not contain cell wall.

🧬ANIMAL CELL
15) An organism made up of one cell.
🧬UNICELLAR ORGANISMS

16) Organism composed of many cells

🧬MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS

17) An organism that lacks nucleus

🧬PROKARYOTIC

18) An organism with true nucleus.

🧬EUKARYOTIC

Activity 3: Synthesizing your Learning

1. Base from your opinion, why do we need to study the beginning of the universe? Give at least five (5) reasons.

a. We can understand where we came from, where we are going, and how physics works under conditions which are impossible to
recreate on Earth. 

b. In order for us to understand and explain the origin of life and the survival of living beings.

c. To know the planetary systems, explore planets that are capable of supporting life, and to learn whether life began elsewhere in
the solar system have helped us advance and build our civilization

d. We can have a broader perspective about the universe.

E. We can study possible metabolic and genetic pathways to life, collect fossilized evidence from old rocks, and conduct experiments
in the laboratory, expanding our understanding of this most vexing of questions, the transition from nonlife to life.

What’s New
Activity 1: What an Amazing Life!

What’s More
Activity 2: Case Analysis
With the given concept above, answer the following situations with the characteristics of life. Write your answer on the second table.
What I Have Learned
Activity 3: Synthesizing your Learning
Answer the following questions based on your learning. Be brief and concise.
1. From the seven characteristics of life, choose top three which you consider as important characteristics of life.
Explain why to each of the characteristic below.

a. Excretion - All organisms need to perform the life processes to prevent extinction, or dying out. Some waste
products are sweat, urine, and carbon dioxide. Without the excretory system many problems can develop in the body.
The excretory system is important for many reasons.  Similarly to your need to take out the garbage, to prevent nasty
smells, clutter and invasions by other organisms the excretory is like taking out our garbage.  Problems can develop
from malfunctions of the excretory system.  Some things we can do are: eating healthy foods, drinking lots of water
and proper hygiene.

b. Growth and Development-Cell growth and development include its repair. As cells grow old, they wear off.
Sometimes they suffer injury and bruises, but they are able to repair themselves by growing new cells in a process
called Mitosis. As living things grow, they undergo a process called aging (age). As they get close to the end of their
lifespan, their ability to carry out life functions reduce. Eventually, they die to end the process of life. 

c. Movement- Movement affects everything, from circulation to digestion to metabolism to immunity.

With movement, our bodies regulate hormone activity, detoxify and respire.
 2. Based from what you learned on the beginning of the universe until how life began, which among the topics
struck you the most that gave you realizations.

🧬Most people have an intuitive understanding of what it means for something to be alive.
However, it’s surprisingly hard to come up with a precise definition of life. Because of this,
many definitions of life are operational definitions—they allow us to separate living things
from nonliving ones, but they don’t actually pin down what life is. To make this separation,
we must come up with a list of properties that are, as a group, uniquely characteristic of
living organisms. All of the properties of life we have discussed are characteristic of life on
earth. If extraterrestrial life exists, it may or may not share the same characteristics. Indeed,
NASA’s working definition that “life is a self-sustaining system capable of Darwinian
evolution” opens the door to many more possibilities than the criteria defined above.
However, this definition also makes it hard to quickly decide whether something is alive!
