    This laboratory exercise outlines a procedure for classifying plants and animals. Students are instructed to obtain representative specimens of a plant (Santan plant) and animal (red ant). They must observe and record characteristics to classify each organism by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. A table compares characteristics of plants versus animals in terms of structure, nutrition, movement, excretion, respiration, growth, and irritability. The goal is to give a taxonomic account of each representative and compare differences between kingdoms.

    Laboratory Exercise # 4

    CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS

    Name: MARYMPEARLY D. ABRENCILLO Score___________

    Date Performed: OCTOBER 24,2023 Instructor:GLOVEN SIBOLBORO

    I. Objectives

    1. To give the taxonomic account of the representatives of each of t


    he plant and animal according to the order of classification.
    2. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the group.

    II. Materials:

    Representative specimens

    III. Procedure:
    1. Get one sample of representative specimen (plant and animal) t
    hen recognize their classification according to their:
    a. Kingdom
    b. Phylum
    c. Class
    d. Order
    e. Family
    f. Genus
    g. Species
    2. Characterize the representative organisms under each kingdom
    through a field activity.
    3. Observe all specimens. Take note of their characteristics and cla
    ssifications.
    4. Write all your observations using the table below. Put a checkm
    ark in the column of the type of organism which has the given c
    haracteristics.
    SANTAN PLANT RED ANT

     an erect and smooth shrub  Workers are polymorphic (different sizes), small,
    1/16- to 1/5-inch long.
     produces numerous flowers that are known  Body reddish with shiny dark brown gaster with
    for their vibrant colors. stinger.
     Large eyes and 3 teeth on front of head.
     Petiole with 2 nodes; no spines on thorax.
     commercially important in traditional
    medicine  10-segmented antennae with 2-segmented club.

    IV. Differences Between Plants and Animal

    Characteristics Plants Animals


    A. STRUCTURE

    ✓
    a. Poses a more definite b
    ody form and a fixed n
    umber of organs

    ✓
    b. Poses a diffused or bra
    nching body and the n
    umber of organs chang
    es all the time.

    c. Outer covering is a cell
    ulose-made cell wall.

    ✓
    d. Outer covering is a cell
    membrane

    d. Autotrophic

    C. MOVEMENT

    ✓
    a. Movement is fast and r
    elatively free.

    ✓
    b. Usually movement is sl
    ow and is a result of gr
    owth.

    D. EXCRETION

    ✓
    a. Metabolic wastes are r
    emoved by transpiratio

    and/or other excretory
    routes.

    E. RESPIRATION

    ✓
    a. Lower respiratory rates
    in cells

    c. Possess growth factors
    / hormones that contr
    ol the response to stim
    uli.

    ✓
    d. Possess receptors/nerv
    es that control the res
    ponse to stimuli.
