A. color display
C. extend their

1. During Plant reproduction, plants takes place asexually like by budding, vegetative methods,
spores, wind, or through insects without involving gametes. Ferns on the other hand reproduce
through spore formation, which involves the production of spores which are asexual
reproductive cells. While during animal reproduction, animals requires physical interaction with
each other in proximity involving sperm and egg cell.
2. Plants and animals both use color display for reproduction and has the same main goal: to
extend their species.
Learning Task 2: Spot that Reproduction:
1. Budding- Hydra
2. External Fertilization- Luzon Narrow-Mouthed Frogs (Kaloula rigida) in
amplexus (mating position)
3. Parthenogenesis- Baby Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis)
4. Viviparity- Philippine Tarsier (Carlito syrichta)
5. Fragmentation- Luzon Sea Star (Echinaster luzonicus)
6. Oviparity- hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)
7. Hermaphroditism- African nightcrawler earthworm (Eudrilus euginiae)
Reflection
In this lesson, I understand that plants and animals differ in reproduction. The reproduction
of different organisms plays a vital role in the continuation of their species, as well as their
survival. During Plant reproduction, plants takes place asexually like by budding, vegetative
methods, spores, wind, or through insects without involving gametes. Ferns on the other hand
reproduce through spore formation, which involves the production of spores which are asexual
reproductive cells. While during animal reproduction, animals requires physical interaction with
each other in proximity involving sperm and egg cell.
Aside from this, I also learned that Asexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms
(bacteria) and in some eukaryotic single-celled and multi-celled organisms. There are a number
of ways that animals reproduce asexually: Budding, External Fertilization, Parthenogenesis,
Viviparity, Fragmentation, Oviparity and Hermaphroditism.
I came to realize that Reproduction may be asexual when one individual produces
genetically identical offspring, or sexual when the genetic material from two individuals is
combined to produce genetically diverse offspring. Asexual reproduction occurs through fission,
budding, and fragmentation. Sexual reproduction may mean the joining of sperm and eggs
within animals’ bodies or it may mean the release of sperm and eggs into the environment. An
individual may be one sex, or both; it may start out as one sex and switch during its life, or it
may stay male or female.
I think, I still need to learn about the different reproductive methods for me to be able to
identify which animals are involved in those methods.

5. D
Learning Task 2:
Give three examples of nutrient deficiencies in plants and the corresponding symptoms.
• Iron deficiency does not occurs and appears on older leaves but it appears on young leaves, Iron is
really necessary for plants such that it is required on some diversified enzymes and synthesis of
Chloroplasts proteins. It is very normal to see shoots dying from the end inwards. In such a great cases,
some newly leaves that emerged may be minimize in size and turn almost like in white with some
necrotic spots.
• Magnesium is just pretty similar to Iron as it is also necessary for plants for the growth of plant
enzymes to produce Carbohydrates, fats and sugars. Its deficiency symptoms on older leaves are
chlorotic in-between roots or mostly known as interveinal chlorosis.
Also In a great deficiency, lower leaves are shed, leaf is reduced, and plant growth rate drops.
• Calcium is a component of plant cell wall that also provides structural supports to cell walls. Therefore,
calcium deficiency's symptoms occurs on some younger leaves and leaf tips. Calcium is a great
contribution in the production of plant growth such that it helps them to produce new growing root tips
and points. Its deficiency symptoms are New foliage, roots growth interruptions, and buds.
1. (1) Parasitic Plant

Scientific Name: Orobanche ramosa
Common Name: Branched Broomrape
Description: Can cause severe damage to important agricultural crops. It produces
leafless flowering, stems, of which resemble branching and alternating scales. It is
pale and has flowers that are ordered with spikes or racemes. It is spread through
seeds on native ranges as they propagate on wide range of non-crop species,
allowing it to flourish undetected then they attack the host crops in the wild
vegetation, where they are mostly associated with weedy species that they attack.
They mostly substantiate in soil with high pH i.e. terrestrial habitats such as
cultivated agricultural lands, roadsides, urban areas, natural grasslands, and
shrublands of which they are harmful and some naturally tolerated. They affect
plants like onions, celery, groundnut, cauliflower, etc. by wilting, yellowing the plant
by necrosis of the foliage, early senescence, reduced root system and reduced fruit
production. It's mechanism of attacking is basically resembling a connection to the
host within days of seed germination. Chemical stimulus are introduced from the
roots. They get nutrition by contact with the host's root where intrusive cells
penetrate through cortices of vascular bundles to link connection with the xylem of
the host. Orobanche spp. also draw most of their nutrition from the water from the
host root.
(2) Predator Plant

Scientific Name: Drosera capensis L.
Common Name: Cape sundew
Description: They are characterized by the adornment of glistening "dewdrops" that
resemble like strap-like leaves enticing simply the insects to their deaths. They have
well-developed roots that produce robust, free and carnivorous flowers. The leaves
are made up of a petiole and lamina that are flattened structurally like tentacles, of
which are dense, mucilaginous and stalked by texture. It also gets nutrients from the
nitrogen of the insects that pollinate on top of it or viciously, caught in its tentacles.
Its tentacles have fluids that secrete a glistening, sticky, clear and scented acids and
enzymes of which are mechanized to attract and entrap insects.
