QUESTION 2
2.1 - Connective tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous tissue
- Epithelium tissue
2.2 This is the tissue that joins, sustains, binds, or divides other tissues. This tissue normally
has a small number of cells embedded in an amorphous matrix, frequently with collagen
or other fibers, and includes cartilaginous and elastic tissues.
2.3 - Protista
- Fungi
- Plantae
- Animalia
 2.4 The light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions which occurs in the
organelle called chloroplast.
2.5 Mitochondria
2.6 - They can eat anything that they can kill or find appetizing.
- They have a chitin-based exoskeleton.
- This phylum exhibits sexual dimorphism. They come in many genders.

QUESTION 3
3.1 The body contains a variety of epithelial tissues. They are the main tissue in glands, line
body cavities and hollow organs, and form the coating of all body surfaces. Several parts
of your body are protected by epithelial tissue. For instance, the skin, which is composed
of epithelial tissue, guards the tissues deeper in our body, including blood vessels,
muscle, and internal organs.
3.2 The circulatory system transports waste like carbon dioxide away from the body's cells as
well as nutrients and oxygen to the cells. This involves the movement of blood cells
through the heart and blood arteries.
3.3 T-cells guard against infection by killing malignant and infected cells, whereas B-cells
create antibodies to fight infection by targeting pathogens in bodily fluids.
3.4 The immune system is divided into two components: Acquired immunity, which is
specific and acts against a narrow range of pathogens, and Innate immunity, which is
nonspecific and works against a vast range of pathogens. The innate immune response is
far faster than the acquired immunological response. To become fully effective, it takes
between 3 and 5 days. A record of the pathogens that were attacked is also kept.
Following responses to the same pathogen can be quicker and more forceful thanks to
memory. The immune systems consist of several tissues and organs including bone
marrow, thymus, spleen, lymphatic and the skin.
3.5 The respiratory and circulatory systems collaborate to provide oxygen to cells, which is
necessary for cellular respiration. To release energy in a form that cells can utilize,
glucose must be broken down during this process. The cellular respiration equation
demonstrates that carbon dioxide is created as a waste product. The cells must then be
cleared of carbon dioxide to prevent damage or cell death. When you inhale, air passes
through your airways and descends into the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. Here is
where the exchange of gases happens. The respiratory system is supported by the
circulatory system, which carries blood to and from the lungs. The circulatory system is
made up of the heart and blood arteries.
3.6 Innate immunity, which is non-specific, is effective against several infections. It is
dependent on the skin, saliva, tears, perspiration, milk, mucous membranes, reaction
 from innate immune cells, and the inflammatory response that happens when damaged
tissues release histamines.
3.7
- Natural selection is the process through which organisms that are better
adapted to their environment typically survive and generate more offspring.
- Genetic drift, which is the change in an existing gene variant's (allele)
frequency in a population because of a gene's accidental absence because of
- death or infertility.
- Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material from one group to another
because of migration.
- Mutations are haphazard alterations to an organism's DNA that can affect
many facets of its life, including its basic physiology as well as how it appears
and behaves.

3.8 Xylem Vessel

3.9 The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. The aorta,
a sizable artery, is used to pump the fluid under high pressure from the left ventricle to
the body. The arteries carry oxygenated blood to arterioles, which are smaller blood
vessels, and then to capillaries, where it finally diffuses into body cells for use in cellular
respiration. Blood in a capillary is referred to be deoxygenated blood when oxygen has
diffused into the cell and the waste product of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide, has
diffused out of the cell and into the capillary. This waste-carrying blood travels from
 capillaries through venules, which are small veins, to the vena cava, which are huge
veins, and finally to the right atrium of the heart.

QUESTION 4

CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
TOPIC: TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
What is the approach of traditional medicine?
Traditional medicine includes medical procedures, methods, theories, and practices that use
drugs derived from plants, animals, and minerals as well as spiritual therapies, manual
therapies, and exercises. These methods may be used separately or in combination to treat,
diagnose, prevent, or maintain health.
At the end of this lesson learners should be able to define traditional medicine, use of
traditional medicine, how it was created and how it benefits the society.
Teachers Activity:
Tradition Medicine was created or found by traditional healers to help the people. Healers
are sometimes called sangomas or inyangas. Traditional healers specialized in herbal
medication that assist by providing medication that might include plants, rocks, animal
horns and bones. Traditional healers would train for many years to perfect the skills and
provide adequate service.
Traditional medicine benefits most people because it is cost effective, it mitigates the risk of
side effects, natural healing and one can try different herbs knowing that their safe.
Below are some of the herbs which are still being used today.
Some of these herbs are used to relax a person, treat a cold/cough, sooth a sore throat etc.
Learners Activity:
Answer the following questions:
1. Define Tradition Medicine?
2. Who uses Traditional Medicine?
3. What are the advantages of tradition medicine?
4. State the materials used to create traditional medicine.
5. Write a paragraph to explain whether you agree or disagree with the use of traditional
medicine.
