Hello and welcome to the podcast forEducation exclusively brought to you by Africa Business
Radio. My name is Anoja andtaking us on the subjects biology today is
Miss Irene. She will be treatingthe topic recognizing living things and this is
for SS one students. Hello learnardis welcome to another fun time of learning.
(00:40):
My name is Miss Irene. Weare learning about recognizing living things and
in biology for SS one and todaywe are going to be looking at different
aspects in recognizing First, we aregoing to be looking at the characteristics of
living things, general characteristics of livingthings. And also we'll be looking at
(01:02):
the differences between plants and animal socommon board as we continue to learn.
So the very first thing we wantto try to look at is we want
to look at the characteristic of allliving things. We want to look at
the characteristic of all living things andsome of their common characteristics based on their
classification. We are going to belooking at the characteristics based on their classification.
(01:27):
Living things are grouped into five kingdoms. We have the animals, we
have the plants, we have thefung gui, we have the protist and
we have the monariums. All right, so the animals have the general characteristic
of being many cells. That is, they're made up of multiple cells.
Okay, they're made up of multiplecells, and the feed on other living
(01:49):
things. Examples of organism in thisgroup are mouse, dogs, fish frogs.
These are examples of animals. Thereare men many cells. Like I've
said before, they feed on otherliving things. Then the next living thing
that we are looking at are theplants. The plants are also many cells.
(02:09):
Okay. The plants are also multicellularin nature. They make their own
food and examples includes trees, flowers, and grass. The next group are
the fungi. Fungi are also manycells. Okay. Fungi are also many
cells and absorbed food from other livingthings or dead things. They absorbed food
(02:31):
from other living things or dead things. Examples include mushrooms, molde. The
next kingdom that we have are theprotister. Okay. The next kingdom that
we have are the protister. Theyare one cell, make their own food
or feed on other living things.They are one celled make their own food
(02:53):
or feed on other living things.Examples are the algae and amibers. Examples
are the gay and the amighbors.Then the next kingdom we are looking at
are the munerians. The monerans haveno cell nuclei. Okay, they do
not have cell nuclier, their cellshave no nuclear and they make their own
food or feed on other organism.And examples that belong to this group are
(03:17):
the bacterias. Okay, we havethe bacteria belonging to this group. Sometimes
we also have the different viruses.Now, these are the general characteristic of
the different living things that belong tothe different five kingdom. The five kingdom
again we have are the animals,the plant, the fung guide, the
(03:38):
protest and the monarian. And alsowe said we are going to be looking
at recognizing living things. We aretrying to recognize living things by looking at
their peculiar characteristic. Today we aregoing to focus on looking at the differences
or identifying the differences between plants,and we are going to be looking at
(04:00):
the differences between plants and animal.That's what we'll be looking at in detail.
What we have now is we arelooking at the differences between plants and
animal, looking at some peculiar characteristics. Before now you've learned about the main
characteristic between plants and animal. We'velearned about characteristics of plants and animals,
(04:23):
So we are going to be lookingat their differences based on all these different
characteristics, based on all these differentcharacteristic. Now, the first characteristic we
are looking at is movements. Thefirst characteristic we are looking at is movement.
One. Plant generally are green incolor due to the presence of chlorophyll
(04:46):
and are able to prepare their ownfood with the help of sunlight, water,
and air. They are known forproviding oxygen for the atmosphere. That's
a general characteristic of plant. Whileanimals are living organism which feed on the
organic material and are known to havea specialized system in their body like the
never system, the reproductive system,sense organ which make them unique from the
(05:12):
other forms of life. I'm goingto take that again. Now we are
looking generally at plants and animal andwe are going to be identifying some major
characteristic that we help us identify andrecognize them as the living thing. But
generally we have the plants are greenin color due to the presence of chlorophyll
and are able to prepare their ownfood with the help of sunlight, water,
(05:38):
and air. I want you tothink about what is the name that
we call this process where plants maketheir own food. I don't. I
want to try to see those ofyou that can remember from your lower level
sciences. Okay, thank you.All right, if you said for two
sentences, you are very correct.That's very excellent. You know if you
(06:00):
set orto sentences for too sentences.Is that process where plants make their own
food and they are also known forproviding oxygen to the atmosphere. Also,
we are looking at animals we have. Animals are living organisms which feed on
organic material and are known to havespecialized system in their body, like the
(06:21):
nervous system, the reproductive system,the sense organ which make them unique from
other forms of life. One veryparticular features that are characteristic or in animal
is that they have specialized system thathelps them experience the environmental reproductive system,
help them carry out the different lifeprocesses. That's one very unique thing about
(06:46):
animals. All right, moving on, like I said, we are going
to be looking at the differences betweenplants and animal. We want to try
to differentiate them based on some ofthe different characteristics that we've identity five before
now, and one of such characteristicsis movement in plants. Plants do not
have the ability to move from oneplace to another, as plants are rooted
(07:12):
into the ground. Exception, wehave the exception in the lower plant,
which is the volvox and the clamidominas. Okay, we have the exceptions
in the lower plants, which isthe volvox and the clamidominans. Now they
are able to move around with theaid of what is called the flagella.
All right, So these plants areable to move around. But most higher
(07:35):
plants, most fans, most floweringplants, flowering and non flowering plant,
most of them are rooted. Theydon't move from one place to the other.
But in animals, animal can movefrom one place to another freely.
Exceptions are the sponges and the corals. Okay, corals and sponges are the
(07:56):
exception to this rule. All animalcan move from one place to another,
with the exception of sponges and chralAnd we know that most animals are either
pentadactyl. They have their fits,they have their hand, They are able
to move around. They are motilein nature. Even the lower animals like
the amibers, are motile in nature. They are able to move from one
(08:18):
place to the other. The nextpoint of difference that we are looking at
is the mode of nutrition. Theirmode of nutrition. These are mentioned earlier
that plants have chlorophyll Okay. Dueto the presence of this chlorophyl, they
are able to make their own foodand this is why they are known as
(08:39):
autotrophs. Okay, autotrophs coming fromthe root world automatic auto. That mean
that they make their own food automatically. And while animals are known as a
tarotrophs that means it means multiple etterthe root world etter so troph is majorly
making or feeding. Troph stands forfear eating all right, so there are
(09:01):
multiple feeders. They have different foodthat they feed on and as they depend
on plan for their food either directlyor indirectly. Then the next point of
difference is the way they store theirfood. Plants do not have digestive system.
Okay. Plants do not have digestivesystem and the storage of food takes
(09:22):
place in the form of stach.The storage of food and plant takes place
in the form of stach. Whilemost animals have proper digestive system. We
support the food and in digesting andabsorbing the nutrient from it. Okay,
animals have a proper digestive system whichaid them in digesting, breaking down the
(09:46):
food and then absolving the nutrient fromthe food than their food carboydrates is stored
in the form of glycogen. They'reable to absorb and store different form of
food from protein which is thought asa minor acid, to fat which is
stored as glycer roll so and thenthe absworve directly the vitamins into their body.
(10:09):
Then the next one we are lookingat is respiration in plant. Plant
take in carbon dioxide and relate oxygeninto the atmosphere. Now, this exchange
of gases will cut true an organel in the leaf of the plant known
as the stomata. Okay, theexchang gases through the stomata. There is
(10:31):
an organ eel found in the leavesof plants of green plant especially then animal
takes in oxygen and breathe carbon dioxide. Animal taking oxygen and release carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere. And sometimes thiswill course through lungs, gills or skin.
(10:52):
Okay, this will cours through longgells or skin. The next criteria
that we are looking at is thecellular structure. We are we can based
on their cellular structure. Now,the cellular structure of plants. In the
cells, the cell of plants havea cell wall, it has a chloroplast,
it's as a plast modest matter,it's as a plastic and other different
(11:13):
organ eils. Now, all thesedifferent organails are unique to the plant cell.
While in the animal cell, theanimal cell does not have a cell
wall, Okay, it has acell membrane. Okay, it as a
cell membrane, does not have thereinforced cell wall. And then there are
other organls. And what we havesometimes is that for animal cell to be
able to move around, it aswhat are called the celia. It as
(11:37):
what are called the celia. Thenanother basis for differentiation is growth. Another
basis for differentiation that we're looking atis growth. All right, now,
I'm in plant. The growth ofplant takes place throughout its life. Its
growth takes place throughout its life,and the meristematic system present in the tip
(12:01):
and the stems support the growth ofplants. The meristematic system present at the
tip of the root and the stempare responsible there helps support the growth of
plant. But an organ system supportthe growth in animals, and this growth
in animals are definite growth in animalsare definite. After some time, some
(12:24):
part of animals stop growing. Somepart of animals stop growing. They go
through the cycle of being reborn,being replaced over and over. But growth
is definite. Growth is definite,is stopped at some point. Another criteria
that we are looking at the differencesbetween plants and animal is reproduction. Now,
(12:46):
reproduction of plant takes place most timesasexually. Reproduction in plant most time
takes place asexually by the process ofbudding, vegetative propagation, spots formation,
transplanting by insect or other animal.Okay. Reproduction implant takes place most of
(13:07):
the time asexually. And for animals, some lower animals like the orgate,
reproduces asexually. Okay. Some loweranimal reproduces asexually while other animal reproduces sexually,
while other animals reproduces sexually. Andanother criteria we're looking at is their
(13:28):
response their response to stimulus. Okay, their response to stimulus. Now,
plants show the response to stimulus liketouch light. These are not very very
obvious. They are not very sensitivedue to the absence of sense organ.
Their plan do not have sense organ. Due to the absence of sense organ,
it's not very same. Now inanimal animals have proper never system.
(13:54):
Animals have proper never system, andtheir respons to stimuli is very very quick.
Okay. They have the never systemthat is controlled by the brain,
which shows and then the different senseorgan response to different senses response to different
stimuli, and these responses are highlycensusive. Now, this is all we'll
(14:18):
be learning about today under and recognizingLiving Thing. This is all we'll be
learning about today. Under recognizing LivingThing. We've been able to identify major
characteristic and examples of different organism thatbelong to the different kingdom. Characteristics that
will help us identify them and alsoextraly for plants and animal being able to
(14:39):
differentiate between them, being able todifferentiate between them based on their different characteristics.
I hope you've been able to learnmuch today until we meet again for
another exciting experience of learning. Tohave a wonderful time by Thank you for
