ACTIVITY NO.1
Classification of Organisms (50 points)
WRITTEN OUTPUT

Direction: In the table below, research two different plants and animals you like most.
Include their taxonomic classification, any distinct features and even their habitat.
Then identify the similarities between the two organisms.

ANIMALS
Emperor Penguin Chicken

Kingdom: Animalia Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata Phylum: Chordata

Class: Aves Class: Aves

Order: Sphenisciformes Order: Galliformes

Family: Spheniscidae Family: Phasianidae

Genus: Aptenodytes Genus: Gallus

Species: Fosteri Species: Gallus

Scientific name: Aptenodytes forsteri Scientific name: Gallus gallus

Distinct feature/s: Emperor penguins have Distinct feature/s: It has a comb and two

and relatively small beaks and flippers than of other birds. The comb is a red appendage on
other penguins and birds to reduce heat loss. top of the head, while the wattles are two
appendages beneath the chin.
Habitat: Emperor penguins exclusively exist in Habitat: The majority of chickens are kept in
Antarctica and are nearly often found between cages. A factory farm setting is frequently their
the latitudes habitat.
What do these organisms have in commons?
The things they have in common is that they are both bipedal Flightless Birds that lay eggs
for their offspring. Also, they both have feathers and are warm-blooded. They are same
kingdom, phylum and class.

along coasts and rivers, and at high mountain
heights.
What do these organisms have in commons?
Roses and sunflowers are both flowering plants. They've also been found in a variety of
products, including shampoo, lotion, and soap. Both are non-invasive due to the fact that
they are occasionally used for gardening or domestication. They are also same kingdom
and class in taxonomy which is, Plantae and Magnoliopsida.

ACTIVITY NO.1 (40 points)

1. Do you remember the last time you had a family reunion? A summer vacation
or a family gathering and the latest family picture taken together? Can you
describe your family members? What makes you similar to them and what
makes you unique?”
2. List characters or features that served as evidences (e.g. morphological,
genetic, etc.) that indeed they belong to the same family.

I learned that taxonomy is the science of identifying, characterizing, and categorizing
organisms, which encompasses all plants, animals, and microbes on the planet. The
system is divided into seven categories: (1) Kingdom, (2) Phylum, (3) Classification, (4)
Order, (5) Family, (6) Genus, and (7) Species. People's ancestors are shown in family
