Review:

Last meeting, we discussed about animal cell and

plant cell.
What organelle can we find in plant cell that is not
found in animal cell?
Ma’am
Yes, Kyrille?
The cell wall and chloroplast.
Very good! If chloroplast is responsible in the
process of photosynthesis in plants, what about
the cell wall?
Ma’am
Yes, Librata?
The purpose of the cell wall is to give support and
protects the cell.
Very good! It gives protection against foreign
materials like the insects and bacteria.

What organelle can we find in animal cell that is

not found in plant cell?

Yes, Girlie? Ma’am.

Very good! Centrioles, Ma’am.

Let’s move on to our topic.

Motivation:

(The teacher will show set of pictures)

Okay, what do you observe on the pictures?

Yes, Heart?

Ma’am.
Wow! Very good! Another?
The picture shows a group of plants, animals,
Yes, Kianne?
bacteria and fungi.

Ma’am.
Very good! You got the idea!
The picture shows how they are being reproduced.
What does the organism reproduce?

Yes, Chelsea?
Ma’am.
Amazing!
The organism reproduces an exact copy of itself.
B. Presentation of the lesson

Our lesson for today is about Reproduction: The

continuity of life.

C. Discussion
You have mentioned a while back that the
organisms reproduce an exact copy of themselves.

What can you say more about reproduction?

Yes, Nicole?

Ma’am.
Very good! Meaning it is one of the basic features
of all organisms.
It is the fundamental feature of all known
Another?
organisms.
Yes, Dufnie?

Ma’am.
Exactly! The ability of an organism to produce new
individuals is one of the characteristics that
distinguishes living things from non- living things. Reproduction means an organism replicates or
duplicates an exact copy of it.
There are two forms of reproduction the Asexual
and Sexual reproduction, and we will go over
Asexual reproduction.

When you hear the word asexual, what comes into

your mind?

Yes, Angeleen?

Ma’am.
Very good! Asexual reproduction involves no
fertilization and produces offspring that are Asexual means without sexes or gametes. A type
genetically identical. of reproduction that does not involve sexes or
Let’s move on to the asexual reproduction in gametes.
plants.
There are two forms of vegetative reproduction.
The Natural and Artificial reproduction.

1. In Natural reproduction we have the

following:

A. RUNNERS- are stems that grow

horizontally above the ground. They have
nodes where buds are formed. These buds
grow into new plant.

One most common example of it is the strawberry

B. TUBERS

What do you notice on the picture class?

(showing a picture of cassava plant)
Yes, Vhenfort?

Very good! What certain root crop?

Very good, so therefore, what is a tuber?

Yes, Sandara? Ma’am.

It is a root crop, Ma’am.

Very good! That explains all. A cassava, Ma’am.

C. LEAVES/ PLANTLETS Ma’am.

Have you seen a katakataka leaf class? New plants will grow out of swollen modified roots
called tubers. Buds develop at the base of the
Do you know that it propagates through its leaf? stem and grow into new plants.
(The teacher will show a katakataka leaf)

Yes, Ma’am! (Students’ answer)

The small leaf or the small plant that you see
growing on the leaf is called plantlets and they
detach from the parent and grow into a new plant.

D. BULBS

One example of a bulb class is the onion. What can

you say or how will you describe an onion?
(The teacher will show a picture)

Yes, Mikylla?

Very good! Those leaf bases are called scales;

generally, do not support the leaves.

Yes, Edward? Ma’am.

Very good! And those layers serve specific An onion has short stems with fleshy leaves or leaf
functions. The middle layer is called the Apical and bases.
that will produce new shoots as the plant grows
And develops, it will form new bulb underground.
Ma’am.

It has many layers.

E. BUD or EYES.

An example of it is the potato crop

(The teacher will show picture of a potato)

The potato has depressions; these are the eyes or

buds and when this potato is planted in the soil
shoots will emerge. From single potato to several
potato plants.

Is everything clear class?

2. Artificial Vegetative Reproduction

A. STEM CUTTING Yes, Ma’am (Students’ answer)

Are you familiar with stem cutting class?

Very good! What plant do you usually propagate

using stem cutting?

Yes, Gielord? Yes, Ma’am (Students’ answer)

Very good! Another?

Ma’am.
Yes, Edz? Roses
Very good! Another?
Ma’am.
Yes, Michael?
Santan
Very good! What do you notice of the cuttings as it
grows? Ma’am.

Yes, Jada? Sampaguita.

Very good!
Is everything clear class? Ma’am.

Now let’s move on to the asexual reproduction in New roots and leaves will grow from the cutting.
animals and microorganisms.

1. BUDDING Yes, ma’am (Students’ answer)

In this form of asexual reproduction, an offspring

grows out of the body of the parent. Can you cite
an example?

Yes, Melrose?

Very good! Another?

Ma’am.
Yes, Salvador?
Hydras.
Very good! Another?
Ma’am.
Very good! All your examples are correct!
Sponges.
(The teacher will show some pictures)
Yeasts.

What do you notice on the picture class?

Yes, Emmanuel?

Very good! and when it detaches from the parent Ma’am.

it will become a new individual organism.
2. FRAGMENTATION They are in cluster Ma’am. A small portion of the
organism grows outward it.
Who can define what fragmentation is?

Yes, Bernadette?
 Ma’am.
Very good! You got the idea! An example of it is
the planarians In this type of reproduction, the body of the
parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which
develops into a new offspring.

As you can see, the planarians have been cut into

pieces but still able to live by forming the missing
parts and become a complete organism.

3. REGENERATION

One of the most known examples of it is the

starfish. Why do you think so?

Yes, Glaiza?

Very good! If a piece of parent cell is detached, it Ma’am.

can grow and develop into a completely new
individual. Starfish exhibits this type of reproduction.

4. BINARY FISSION

What is a binary fission class?

Yes, Ashly?

Ma’am.

Binary fission “Bi” means two and “fission” means

to separate. Binary fission is simply dividing the
organism into two equal halves.
Very good! Bacteria are the most known examples
of it. As you can see class, the bacteria begin to
elongate, replicates genetic materials, forms
cleavage furrow and then detach to the parent
forming a new organism.

5. SPORE FORMATION

Have you seen bread with molds growing in it?

Good! The black structure is called spore case

which contains the spores, when the spore case Yes, Ma’am (Students’ answer)
opens, the tiny spores are released and may be
carried by wind or water.

Is everything clear class?

D. Application

What are the forms or methods of vegetative

reproduction?
Yes, ma’am (Students’ answer)
Yes, Kyrille?

Ma’am.

Very good! How about the lower forms of animals There are two forms of vegetative reproduction in
and microorganisms? How do they reproduce? plant the natural and artificial The natural
Yes, Allorie? reproduction includes the bulb, tubers, runners,
plantlets and in artificial reproduction we have the
stem cutting and bud cutting.
Exactly! Why do we use vegetative reproduction to
grow plants?
Ma’am.
Yes, Chelsea?
They reproduce through spore formation, binary
fission, fragmentation and regeneration.

Very good! Compared to plants grown in seeds it

will take months or years before it matures like Ma’am.

We use vegetative propagation to grow plants
Is everything clear class? because the plants reach maturity faster than
plants grown in seeds.
Okay, good!

F. Values Integration

Genesis 9:7
Yes, Ma’am (Students’ answer)
“As for you, be fruitful and increase in number;
multiply on earth and increase upon it."

Yes, Jhals?

Very nice interpretation! So therefore lets us be a

better influence to others so that we can multiply Ma’am.
and increase in numbers. We are the seeds of God.
Let us bear good fruits. Meaning, let us be productive in good ways, let us
influence others to follow the right path and let us
multiply and multiply as what God want us to do.
