TEST I. KNOWLEDGE
CHLOROPLASTS
Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of green plants, algae, and some protists. They are the site of
photosynthesis, a crucial process that converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

parent and drops off to develop into new organisms.
_____8. It is a type of reproduction with a presence of a cell which splits C. Binary Fission
into two new cells of equal size.
D. Budding
_____9. A type of reproduction involves fertilization, the fusion of two
different gametes to form zygotes. E. Fragmentation
_____10. This reproduction involves multicellular or colonial organisms
F. Sporulation
form from cloning in which an organism is split into several
offcut.
B. Understanding
STOMATA
Stomata are microscopic pores found in the epidermis (outermost layer) of plant leaves, stems, and other organs. These specialized
structures play a crucial role in the exchange of gases and water vapor between the plant and its environment.
Directions: Read the questions carefully. Identify the best option that answers the question then write the
CAPITAL letter of your choice on the space provided.

a) Chloroplast
b) Guard Cell
c) Epidermal Cell
d) Nucleus
______12. Form the protective outer layer of the leaf and support the placement of stomata.
a) Chloroplast
b) Guard Cell
c) Epidermal Cell
d) Nucleus
______13. Controls the activities and functions of the cell, including the regulation of stomatal opening and
closing.
a) Chloroplast
b) Guard Cell
c) Epidermal Cell
d) Nucleus
______14. Works in conjunction with the outer thin wall to regulate the opening and closing of the stomatal
pore.
a) Inner Thick Wall
b) Outer Thin Wall
c) Guard Cell
d) Stomatal Pore
______15. Allows the exchange of gases (such as CO2 and O2) and water vapor between the leaf and the
environment.
a) Inner Thick Wall
b) Outer Thin Wall
c) Guard Cell
d) Stomatal Pore
______16. Provides structural support and flexibility to the guard cells.
a) Inner Thick Wall
b) Outer Thin Wall
c) Guard Cell
d) Stomatal Pore
______17. Contributes to turgor pressure changes in the guard cells, influencing stomatal opening and closing.
a) Nucleus
b) Vacuole
c) Epidermal cell
d) Guard Cell
______18. Regulate the opening and closing of the stomatal pore, controlling gas exchange and water loss.
a) Nucleus
b) Vacuole
c) Epidermal cell
d) Guard Cell
TEST II. UNDERSTANDING
BIOMOLECULES
Biomolecules are organic molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, that play crucial roles in the structure
and function of living organisms.

Criteria 3 2 1
Factual Demonstrates a thorough Contains mostly accurate information Contains significant inaccuracies,
Accuracy understanding of the topic with but may have minor errors or misconceptions, or outdated
accurate and relevant omissions. Some supporting details information. Lacks substantial
information. may be lacking. supporting evidence.

SITUATION 1: GAS EXCHANGE

Gas exchange is the process by which gases, particularly oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), are transferred between an
organism and its environment.

SITUATION 2: RESPIRATION
Respiration is a fundamental process for the survival of all living cells, providing the energy needed for various cellular activities. It
is distinct from the process of breathing, which is the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between an organism and its
environment.

SITUATION 3: CELLULOSE
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and a type of polysaccharide consisting of long chains of glucose molecules.
A. Applying
19-21 Directions: How is the process of gas exchange in plants happen?

B. Analyzing
22-24 Directions: How are gas exchange, respiration, & cellulose interrelated when it comes to biomolecules?

C. Evaluating
25-27 Directions: What if there is no gas exchange among living organism?

TEST III. CREATING

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The respiratory system is a complex network of organs and tissues that help humans and many other animals breathe. Its primary
function is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.

Criteria 3 2 1
Content Offers detailed content with a good level Provides sufficient details but Contains limited details and
of depth. lacks depth. information.

28-30 Directions: Create an illustration of human respiratory system through slogan, poster, or poem.
