Introductory Message
Welcome to Science 11!
The Science 11 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be
made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.
The Science 11 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even
if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful
and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner,
carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Do you think the food you eat today can sustain you? Did you know
that the food you eat contains nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, proteins,
vitamins and minerals? These nutrients are processed and synthesized by
the cells of the body into structural components and biologically essential
substances to serve as fuel to perform the daily tasks.
In this learning activity, you will learn how lower form of animals
get foods into their cells. Specifically, you will describe the general and
unique characteristics of the digestive systems of the following
representative animals like amoeba, planaria, avian and ruminants.
1. Amoeba
• A single-celled organism that takes in food particles and digest
these in the food vacuole.
• Has pseudopodia to move and get in food and other particulate
matters
• Food vacuole a sac –like organ where food gets in.
• Unicelled organism that releases enzymes to digest its food and
dissolved nutrients into the cell membrane while liquid wastes
are eliminated.
2. Planaria
• Free living flatworms that have no body cavities living in
freshwaters.

• Have simple digestive system wherein they grasp the food with
their soft mouths and push them into their muscular pharynges
where chemical digestion happens.
• Mouth is the only opening through which food passes in and
undigested food passes out too.
3. Avians
• Slightly different from other lower forms of animals.
• Includes domesticated fowls such as chicken, ducks and turkeys.
• Have no teeth to chew their food so they use their beaks to break
down food enough for them to swallow.
• Food passes through their esophagus and empties directly into the
crop where it is temporarily stored.
• Food moves through their proventriculus that is similar to the
stomach.
• Hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes are secreted in the
proventriculus.
• From proventiculus, food is moved to the vetriculus (gizzards) where
food is ground.
• This ground food is then moved to the small intestine and then to
the large intestine.
• Remaining undigested food particles are moved to their cloaca
where it is mixed with wastes.
4. Ruminants
• Have special digestive system which consists of a large stomach
with four compartments namely: rumen, reticulum, omasum and
abomasum.
• Ruminants include cattle, goat, sheep and deer.
• They feed on roughages.
• They swallow their food in large amounts and chew them little by
little then back from their stomach into the mouth and chew it
again.
• The largest compartment of their stomach is the rumen.
• Rumens can hold digested food up to 50 gallons with millions of
bacteria that help in breaking down roughages and in metabolizing
amino acids and vitamins.
• The reticulum that looks like honey-comb is attached to the rumen
which traps large food particles.
• The omasum is also a small organ while the abomasum is considered
as the true stomach.
• Small intestine is a long-coiled tube for food passage and absorption.

1. Amoeba has pseudopodium to get in food into the cells while avian has beak to gather food.
2. Ruminants have four stomach compartments unlike other animals.
3. Avians have crop and gizzard. These special orgnas enable them to gather different kinds of food for
their consumption.
