Learning Activity Sheet General Biology 2 (Q4 - Lessons 1 and 2) The Organ Systems of Plants and Animals
Region III
DIVISION OF MABALACAT CITY
I. Introduction
Humans and all other multicellular organisms such as plants and animals have a
system of organs that carry out life functions that keep them alive. This learning
activity sheet will explore the reproduction, development, nutrition, gas exchange,
transport/circulation, and regulation of body fluids.
Compare and contrast the following processes in plants and animals: reproduction,
development, nutrition, gas exchange, transport/circulation, regulation of body fluids,
chemical and nervous control, immune systems, and sensory and motor mechanisms.
(STEM_BIO11/12-IVa-h-1)
III. Objectives
After going through this Learning Activity Sheets, you are expected to:
1. describe the processes of plant and animal reproduction, development,
nutrition, respiration, and circulation.
2. compare and contrast the reproduction, development, nutrition,
respiration, and circulation in plants and animals;
3. relate the importance of the plant and animal organ systems and its role
in the ecosystem.
IV. Discussion
1
Plants and animals are easy to distinguish, but they share specific characteristics
that make them stand out. Apart from that, the ecosystem, the environment, and their
interdependence are the only simple aspects they have in common. Plants and
animals can be differentiated by various factors, not just at the external features but
also the organ systems and process.

Development involves cell division, body axis formation, tissue and organ
development, and cell differentiation (gaining a final cell type identity). A multicellular
organism develops from a single cell (the zygote) into a collection of many different cell
types, organized into tissues and organs.

and liquid food in an
organism (ex. herbivores,
carnivores, omnivores).
2. Saprophytic Nutrition
- feed on dead and decayed
organisms for energy (ex.
fungi, bacteria).
3. Parasitic Nutrition
- Organisms that live in or
on other organisms and
acquire food at the
expense of their host (ex.
ticks, mosquito,
tapeworms).

Circulation is an essential life process that
involves the transport of nutrients, water, wastes, and other materials in every cell of
an organism.
Closed circulatory
system - circulates blood
unidirectionally from the
heart, around the body,

and back to the heart (ex.
vertebrates).

Osmoregulation or regulation of body fluids refers to the active regulation of
the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids. To maintain the water and
electrolyte balance, organisms excrete excess water, solute molecules, and
wastes.
