ACTIVITY 1
 Observation: Tiny droplets of water can be seen in the inner side of the plastic.
 The moisture in the inner side of the plastic came from the leaves of the plant.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY 1
 Osmoregulation is the continuous sustainment of water and electrolyte
concentrations in an organism at an ideal level of hydration. Cells will always aim to be in
an isotonic environment, where the concentration of solute outside the cell is the same as the
concentration of solute inside the cell. . Since biological systems constantly interact and
exchange water and nutrients with the environment, Osmoregulation is important as it
preserves the homeostasis of the body’s water content. Without a mechanism to regulate
osmotic pressure, or when a disease damages this mechanism, there is a tendency to
accumulate toxic waste and water, which can have dire consequences.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY 2
 Plants have hormones in them that respond and react to environmental changes.
Since the nervous system does not exist in them, they use a chemical system. One
of which is movement, and it is divided into directional and nondirectional. Tropisms
are directional movements or growth response of a plant to the stimulus. In
nastic movements, the response of the plant is non-directional. An example of
tropism is thigmotropism, which is a growth response to the touch stimulus.
 Animals on the other hand may respond to environmental stimuli through behaviors
that include hibernation, migration, defense, and courtship. Bears enter their dens
for hibernation based on changes in the weather. During hibernation, bears don’t
decrease their body temperature as much as some other hibernating species. This
gives them the ability to warm up more quickly in response to danger.
