Activity 1
What makes up an organism?
Objectives
In this activity, you should be able to:
1. identify the parts that make up an organism,
2. describe the function of each part, and
3. describe how these parts work together in an organism.
Materials Needed
 Writing materials
 Posters and pictures of organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues,
and cells
Procedure
Read the selection below and answer the questions that follow.
You are an organism just like the plants and animals.
Figure 1. Pictures of a human being, plant, and an animal
Have you ever asked yourself what makes you up

and the other organisms around you? Figure 2
shows a model of a human torso.
Q1. What parts of the human body do you see?
Q2. To which organ systems do these parts

belong?
Figure 3 shows some organ systems that you may be familiar with.
Q3. Can you identify these organ systems?
Q4. How do these organ systems work together?
The circulatory system is one of the organ systems that make up an

organism. It is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
Figure 4 shows a model of a human heart. Your heart is about

the size of your fist. It pumps and circulates blood to the different parts
of the body through the blood vessels.
Certain diseases affect the heart and cause it to function

improperly. To learn more about these diseases and what they do to the heart,
interview relatives or neighbors who have heart problems or who know of
people who have the disease. You can also use the internet and the
library to read articles about how certain diseases affect the heart, its parts,
and the whole organism.
Q5. Refer to Figure 4. What parts of the human heart do you see?
Q6. What do you think will happen to the heart if any of these parts
were injured or diseased?
Q7. If these parts of the heart were injured or diseased, what do you think will
happen to the organism?
The excretory system is another organ

system that makes up an organism. It is
made up of different organs that help the body
eliminate metabolic wastes and maintain
internal balance. These organs include a pair of
kidneys. Figure 5 shows a model of a human
kidney. What shape does it look like?
The kidneys are made up of even smaller

parts. Some parts eliminate wastes that are no
longer needed by the body; other parts function in
the reabsorption of water and nutrients.
Like the heart, certain diseases also affect

the kidneys and their function. To learn more
about these diseases and what they do to the
kidneys, interview relatives or neighbors who
have kidney problems or who know of people
who have the disease. You can also use the
internet and library resources to read articles or
news clips about how certain diseases affect the
kidneys – and the other organs of the body –
and the whole organism.
Q8. Refer to Figure 5. What parts of the human kidney do you see?
Q9. What do you think will happen to the kidneys if any of these parts were
injured or diseased?
Q10. If these parts of the kidneys were injured or diseased, what do you
think will happen to the organism?
Q11. What procedure can a medical doctor do to correct an injury to these

organs?
Organs are made up of tissues. The
heart, kidneys, and the parts that make
them up are made up of tissues. Figure
6 shows a picture of a muscle tissue.
This tissue is made up of cells - the basic
units of structure and function in organisms.
Q12. What do you think will happen to

the organs if these tissues were
injured or diseased?
Q13. If these tissues were injured or

diseased, what do you think will
happen to the organ systems?
Q14. If these tissues were injured or diseased, what do you think will
happen to the organism?
Plants are also made up of organ

systems: the root and shoot systems.
The root system absorbs water and
nutrients; the shoot system moves them
to the different parts of the plant.
Q15. In what ways are the functions of

the organ systems of plants similar
to those of animals?
Q16. In what ways are they different?
Figure 8 shows a picture of a flower.

Flowers are the reproductive organs of
plants. Together with the leaves and the
stems, they make up the shoot system.
Q17. In what ways are flowers similar

to the reproductive organs of animals?
Q18. In what ways are they different?

Q19. How do the flowers, leaves, and stems help plants meet their basic
needs?
Q20. What do think will happen to the plant if any of the parts that
make up the shoot system were injured or diseased?
Figure 9 shows a picture of the roots of a

tree. What parts do you think make up
these roots?
Q21. Aside from absorbing water and

nutrients, what other functions do the
roots serve?
Figure 10 shows a model of a section of a

root tip. When you get a small section of a root
tip and view it under a microscope, you will see
that it is made up of many layers of
tissues. You will also see that these tissues
are composed of similar cells that are
arranged and grouped together to perform
specific functions.
Q22. What do you

think will happen to the roots if the
tissues that make them up were injured or
diseased?
Q23. If the roots were injured or diseased,

what do you think will happen to the
plant?
Take a closer look at the models of

animal and plant cells in Figure 11. Cells are
the basic units of structure and function of all
organisms. These cells are grouped together to
form more complex structures: tissues, organs,
and organs systems.
Animals and plants are very different
organisms and yet, they are both made up of
parts that are organized similarly.
Q24. What do you think will happen to the tissues, organs, and organ
systems if these cells were injured or diseased?
Q25. If the tissues, organs, and organ systems were injured or diseased,
what do you think will happen to the organism?

Activity 2
Levels of organization in an organism
Objectives
In this activity, you should be able to:
1. identify the different levels of organization in an organism,
2. describe the parts that make up each level of organization and
their functions, and
3. describe how the parts that make up a level of organization affect the
higher levels of organization and the entire organism.
Materials Needed
 Writing materials
 Posters and pictures of organisms, organ systems, organs, tissues,
and cells
Procedure
1. From the interviews you have made in Activity 1 and the articles you
have read about certain diseases that affect the heart, kidneys, and
the other parts of the body, complete the table on page 8. You may
use Manila paper if the spaces provided in the table are not enough.
2. On the topmost row write a disease, which you have read about or
learned from your interview, that affects parts of the human body.
3. In each of the boxes that correspond to the levels of organization, describe

how the disease affects the parts that make up each level.
4. Opposite each level of organization, cut and paste pictures (you may
use the pictures that come with the articles) that show how the disease
affects the parts that make up the different levels. Another option is to
show it through drawing.
Table. Diseases and their effects on the levels of organization in an
organism
