Topic: Evolving Concept of life

Witten Work 1 (WEEK 1)

Guide Question:
 If you are one of the environmentalists and was assigned in one of the forests in the
Philippines which happened to be the location of some endangered species, what are the
plans that you would organize to ensure the conservation of the species of the flora and
fauna present in your assigned area?

- Habitat protection: Implement measures to protect the habitats of endangered species,

such as creating protected areas or buffer zones around critical habitats.

- Developing and implementing a habitat restoration and management plan, which

would aim to improve the quality of the habitat for the endangered species and reduce
threats to their survival.

- Establishing a monitoring program to track the populations of the endangered species

over time and using that data to inform conservation efforts.

- Creating buffer zones around the area to reduce human impact and pollution, and also
implementing anti-poaching and anti-logging initiatives to protect the animals and their
habitat.

- Finally, implementing a long-term research program to understand the life history,

ecology, and conservation needs of the endangered species and their habitats, which
will help to inform future conservation efforts.

Title of the Activity: Flower Dissection

Parts of Flower Lab Sheet

Place the parts of a flower here.

NAME OF A FLOWER: Daisy

PISTIL

Stigma Style Ovary

Function:
- The stigma is the sticky, receptive surface of a flower that receives pollen
during fertilization. The main function of the stigma is to capture and retain
pollen grains, allowing for the formation of a seed.
- The style is the stalk-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary. The
style serves as a conduit for the growth of the pollen tube from the stigma to
the ovary.
- The ovary is the lowermost part of the pistil and contains the ovules, which are
the structures that contain the female reproductive cells.

STAMEN

Anther Filament Pollen Grains

Function:
- The anther is the part of the stamen (the male reproductive organ) that
produces and contains the pollen grains.
- The filament is the stalk-like structure that supports the anther and connects it
to the rest of the flower.
- Pollen grains are the male reproductive cells of the flower. They are produced
inside the anther and are released when the anther matures.
 Petal Sepal

Function:
- Petals are the colorful and often fragrant parts of a flower that are typically
located in the center of the flower, surrounding the reproductive structures.
- Sepals are typically green, leaf-like structures located at the base of the flower,
surrounding the petals and reproductive structures.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
Follow the directions and answer the questions.

1. Find and count the sepals at the base of your flower. Why is the sepal important to
the development of the flower?

- Protection: Before the flower blooms, the sepals protect the delicate flower bud
from damage, such as from insects or weather.

2. Find and count the petals of your flower. Why are petals usually brightly colored?

- Petals are usually brightly colored to attract pollinators such as bees,

butterflies, and hummingbirds to the flower. Pollinators are attracted to brightly
colored flowers because they are more visible and conspicuous.

3. Find both parts of the stamen on your plant (the male part—anther and filament).
Why is it important for the anthers to be towards the top of the flower?

- Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, typically approach

flowers from above, so positioning the anthers at the top of the flower makes it
more likely that they will meet them.

4. Find all three parts of the pistil on your plant (the female part—stigma, style, and
ovary). Cut open the ovary. How many eggs are inside the ovary?

- The common has one ovary, which contains one ovule. This means that there is
typically only one egg cell or female reproductive cell inside the ovary of a
common daisy. However, in some cases, due to genetic variations or other
factors, the number of ovules inside the ovary of a common daisy could be
different.

1. What is pollination?

- Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male

reproductive organs (stamen) of a flower to the female reproductive organs
(pistil) of the same or another flower, allowing for fertilization and the
production of seeds.

2. What is fertilization in plants?

- Fertilization in plants is the process by which the male and female reproductive
cells (pollen and ovules) unite to form a zygote, which develops into an embryo
and eventually a seed.

5. Explain the type and agent of pollination.

- Anemophily: Pollination by wind. The flowers are small, and they have no bright
color, and no scent. The stamen and pistil are long and exposed.
- Entomophily: Pollination by insects. Flowers are often brightly colored and
fragrant, and they often provide a food source such as nectar for the visiting
insects.
- Ornithophily: Pollination by birds. Birds are attracted by the bright color of
flowers, and the nectar they produce.
- Melittophily: Pollination by bees. The flowers are usually brightly colored, and
they produce a lot of nectar.
- Hydrophily: Pollination by water. This occurs primarily in aquatic plants, such as
certain species of water lilies, where the flowers float on the water's surface and
are pollinated by aquatic insects or animals.

6. Distinguish between pollination and fertilization.

 - Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs (stamen)
of a flower to the female reproductive organs (pistil) of the same or another
flower.
- Fertilization is the process by which the male and female reproductive cells
(pollen and ovules) unite to form a zygote, which develops into an embryo and
eventually a seed.

7. What are two ways plants increasing their chances of reproduction?

- Self-fertilization: Some plants are capable of self-fertilization, which means that

they can fertilize their own eggs using their own pollen. This allows the plant to
reproduce even if no other plants of the same species are nearby.
- Outcrossing: Other plants rely on outcrossing, which is the process of
fertilization between different individuals of the same species. Outcrossing
increases the genetic diversity of the offspring, which can improve the chances
of survival and reproduction.

8. How do flowers attract pollinators?

- Bright colors: Many flowers are brightly colored, often in shades of red, orange,
yellow, or purple, which are easily visible to pollinators.
- Nectar: Flowers produce nectar, a sweet liquid that is a source of energy for
many pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
- Fragrance: Some flowers produce a strong scent, which can attract pollinators
from a distance.
- Shape: Flowers have evolved different shapes to fit the body shape of the
pollinator, such as deep bowls for bumblebees, or long tubes for hummingbirds.

SUBJECT: EA:
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: (at least 4 sentences)
1. What are the economic concerns over moral issues on GM food and food products?
2. What are the major effects of GMOs on humans and the environment?
3. How do GMOs increase our access to healthy food?
4. In what ways do you think this GMO can positively impact society?
5. Do you agree that GMOs help with global food production and security?

Answers:
1. High costs of research and development: Developing GM crops and
food products can be expensive, and the costs are often passed on to
consumers in the form of higher prices.
2. Effects on human health: Some studies have suggested that GMOs
may have negative effects on human health, such as allergies,
antibiotic resistance, and cancer. However, many experts argue that
GMOs are safe to eat, and no conclusive evidence has been found to
support these claims.
3. Increased crop yields: GMOs can be designed to be more resistant to
pests, diseases, and environmental conditions, which can lead to
increased crop yields and a more reliable food supply.
4. Increased food security: GMOs can help to increase food security by
increasing crop yields, improving the nutritional content of food, and
making crops more resilient to environmental conditions. This can help
to reduce hunger and malnutrition, particularly in developing countries
where food shortages are a major problem.
5. The impact of GMOs on global food production and security is a topic of
ongoing debate and research. Some argue that GMOs can help to
increase food production and security by increasing crop yields,
improving the nutritional content of food, and making crops more
resilient to environmental conditions. This can help to reduce hunger
and malnutrition, particularly in developing countries where food
shortages are a major problem.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING GUIDE QUESTIONS: (3 sentences)

1. What organs can you live without?

- The appendix: The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch that hangs off the
large intestine. It is not essential for survival, and people can live without it if it
is removed due to appendicitis.

2. What part of the body doesn't grow?

- The brain: The brain reaches its full size by the age of 2-3 years old, and it does
not grow significantly after that.

3. What part of the body doesn't grow?

- The skull: The skull also reaches its full size by the age of 2-3 years old, and the
sutures that allow for growth to occur fuse by the age of 18.

4. Which is the most sensitive organ in our body?

- The most sensitive organ in the human body is the skin. The skin is the largest
organ of the body, and it serves as a barrier between the internal environment
and the external environment. It is also responsible for many important
functions such as sensation, temperature regulation, and protection.

6. Why is it important for organ systems to communicate with each other?

- Organ systems in the body communicate with each other to maintain

homeostasis, which is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. This is
important because different organ systems have different functions, and they
need to work together to ensure that the body functions properly.
