Lfsc Gr 11 Vrl Prep For Nov Exam 2026 P2 Q2 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00through with their colleagues and their
- 0:02learners. Um
- 0:04the outline of just I'm just going to
- 0:06talk about the microorganisms,
- 0:09that is virus and bacteria, and fungi,
- 0:13immunity,
- 0:15plant diversity, and animal diversity.
- 0:20Uh
- 0:21microorganisms,
- 0:23uh learners they are supposed to prepare
- 0:25themselves well.
- 0:26Uh the first one is virus. They need to
- 0:29know that viruses are acellular, meaning
- 0:32that no cells, and then no organelles.
- 0:35And it's also non-living. It can only
- 0:39live in a host cell.
- 0:42And then viruses they also contain DNA
- 0:45or RNA. Most importantly, the viruses
- 0:49are regarded as pathogens, meaning that
- 0:52they cause diseases.
- 0:54And then the disease that we're going to
- 0:56talk about uh
- 0:59in this
- 1:00November examination is about the HIV.
- 1:05The next
- 1:07and then
- 1:12bacteria,
- 1:14learners they are supposed to also to
- 1:15know that bacteria belongs to the
- 1:18kingdom monera. That is very important
- 1:20that they must know the kingdom. And
- 1:22then they must also know the basic
- 1:24characteristics
- 1:26uh of bacteria, that bacteria are
- 1:28unicellular, meaning that they are made
- 1:30of one cell.
- 1:31They are also prokaryotic.
- 1:35And then most importantly,
- 1:37uh bacteria also they are pathogens,
- 1:40meaning that they cause disease.
- 1:43And then a disease that is caused by
- 1:45bacteria, we're going to look at TB for
- 1:48the November examination 2026.
- 1:53Next slide, missy.
- 1:55>> [snorts]
- 1:56>> Uh the disease caused by bacteria,
- 1:58example is tuberculosis. The learners
- 2:01must know that um
- 2:03tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium
- 2:07uh the mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- 2:10And then it affects mostly the lungs,
- 2:13meaning that they must also know the
- 2:15parts that will be affected is the
- 2:18lungs. The organ is the lungs.
- 2:20And then number two,
- 2:22uh they must also know how it spreads.
- 2:25It spreads by close contact with an
- 2:28untreated person.
- 2:30Uh when these people with TB and then
- 2:33when they are breathing
- 2:35and when
- 2:37breathing air when
- 2:38um a person with an active lung TB
- 2:41coughs, even as they speak or sneeze,
- 2:44they spit and release
- 2:46bacteria-containing particles.
- 2:50The next one
- 2:56Um it's about the immunity.
- 2:59Immunity is the ability of the body to
- 3:03resist, to be able to fight and protect
- 3:06itself
- 3:08uh against pathogens.
- 3:10Um
- 3:14Uh in the November examination, we just
- 3:16going to concentrate on
- 3:19the
- 3:21acquired immunity
- 3:23um to help the
- 3:26the children
- 3:27not to have TB. Remember we said the two
- 3:30diseases that we're going to talk about
- 3:32is the HIV that is caused by virus and
- 3:35the TB that is caused by bacteria.
- 3:38Um vaccine is a dead weakened form of a
- 3:42pathogen that causes the disease.
- 3:45Uh it stimulate the body's immune system
- 3:48producing antibodies to develop
- 3:50response, meaning that learners, they
- 3:52must also understand the use of a
- 3:54vaccine. But specifically, this vaccine
- 3:58that we call the BCG, the one that is
- 4:01given to the babies when they are born,
- 4:05it is commonly given to babies in South
- 4:07Africa. The reason why they are given
- 4:11the BCG, it's to help and protect the
- 4:14young children against a severe form of
- 4:18TB.
- 4:20And then, the disease that is caused by
- 4:22virus, we're going to look at the
- 4:25HIV, what it does in the body. Learners
- 4:29they must understand this one, what does
- 4:32HIV virus do to the system?
- 4:36To the immune immune system of a human
- 4:38being, it
- 4:40it attacks the white blood cells and
- 4:42destroy the immune system slowly.
- 4:45And then, the fact that HIV is going to
- 4:49attack this white blood cells, the
- 4:52soldiers of the body, it makes the
- 4:54immune system of that person to be so
- 4:57weak that every opportunity disease can
- 5:01can happen. But, our concentration now,
- 5:05we're going to look at the relationship
- 5:08for the November examination 2026, we're
- 5:11going to look at the the
- 5:13relationship
- 5:15between the HIV and TB, meaning that we
- 5:19are going to look at the people who have
- 5:22HIV that they are more prone to having
- 5:26TB than a person who is not
- 5:30affected by
- 5:33by HIV.
- 5:35Um
- 5:37TB in fact infect mostly people with
- 5:39weak immune system, such as babies,
- 5:43young children.
- 5:45Uh if they can come into contact with
- 5:48HIV,
- 5:50the next disease that they will have is
- 5:54is TB.
- 5:58I don't know whether this one is clear
- 6:00to the learners is that if someone has
- 6:03HIV, is more prone
- 6:06because already HIV has made the system
- 6:09to be weak. The person becomes more
- 6:12prone to any disease, but for our focus
- 6:15for the November examination, it will be
- 6:19the TB. We'll be looking at the
- 6:20relationship between TB and virus. I
- 6:24think it is clear.
- 6:27We go to the next slide. That is the
- 6:30bread mold. We're going to use the bread
- 6:31mold as an example. And then we must
- 6:34also know that bread mold it falls under
- 6:37kingdom fungi. The learners must also
- 6:39know all these kingdoms as they do
- 6:43as they study. Uh
- 6:45fungi example of bread mold is made up
- 6:49of thread-like filaments. They are
- 6:51called the hyphae. Some of these hyphae
- 6:54they will grow horizontally, others they
- 6:57grow um
- 6:59The one that grows horizontally are
- 7:01called the stolons. And then the ones
- 7:04that penetrate to the substratum are
- 7:07called the rhizoids. But collectively,
- 7:10they have
- 7:11their name is They are called
- 7:13collectively they are called a mycelium.
- 7:17Uh ideal environmental conditions,
- 7:21learners they must also know this one
- 7:23that for fungi to thrive, it need a
- 7:26dark, a warm, and a moist place. They
- 7:29must also know um
- 7:32environmental conditions that will make
- 7:34fungi thrive. And then the role of fungi
- 7:37in the environment
- 7:39fungus
- 7:40Remember it's in general,
- 7:43including all other examples of the
- 7:45fungus, not only the bread mold.
- 7:48They act as decomposers, meaning that
- 7:50they break down dead and decaying matter
- 7:53in the soil. And then for example, the
- 7:56mushroom is used as food for other
- 7:59animals. And then fungi also have
- 8:01mutualistic relationship with the algae
- 8:04to form the lichen. And then we also
- 8:07have this one, the mycorrhiza,
- 8:09that live on the roots of plants and act
- 8:12as root hairs for the plants, meaning
- 8:15that they benefit from the the plants,
- 8:18and then the plants they also benefit
- 8:21from this type of fungi, the mycorrhiza.
- 8:24They grow on rocks and
- 8:27and they are pioneer plants, starting
- 8:29the process of soil formation.
- 8:32Most importantly, they are also
- 8:34pathogenic, meaning that they cause
- 8:36disease in plants. There are some of
- 8:38them which are pathogenic.
- 8:41Thank you, Miss C. The next slide.
- 8:46Uh the next slide is about plant
- 8:49diversity.
- 8:51Learners must be able to identify this
- 8:53diagram
- 8:55um as a phylogenetic tree,
- 8:58showing different characteristics.
- 9:01And then showing these changes in terms
- 9:04of characteristics.
- 9:07Um
- 9:08they must also be able to identify a
- 9:10given common ancestor.
- 9:13Like in this case, a common ancestor is
- 9:16not indicated, but they must know that
- 9:18all these other organisms, they will
- 9:21develop from their common ancestor.
- 9:24Uh in this case, we have the first plant
- 9:27group, the bryophytes,
- 9:30which were non-vascular plants that live
- 9:33on into on earth or on on the land.
- 9:37And then we have the second group, which
- 9:39are the seedless ones,
- 9:42uh but they are vascular now. They must
- 9:44also understand that when we say they
- 9:46have vascular tissue, we mean that they
- 9:50have xylem and phloem, meaning that if
- 9:52they have xylem and phloem, they are
- 9:55able to conduct substances upward
- 9:59yes, and down and downwards. And then
- 10:02the second group, the third group, are
- 10:05the gymnosperms.
- 10:07Uh now, when we look at the gymnosperm,
- 10:09they started to have the pollen and they
- 10:12also have the seeds. And then the
- 10:15angiosperms, they are also said to be
- 10:17flowering plants and then they were the
- 10:20first group to have
- 10:25the to have the flowers and they also
- 10:28bear
- 10:29uh the fruits. They are the only ones
- 10:32that bear the flowers and the fruits.
- 10:35And then
- 10:36another thing is that today must also
- 10:38observe that
- 10:40they must be able to compare
- 10:42pteridophytes and gymnosperm. When you
- 10:45compare pteridophyte and gymnosperm,
- 10:47you'll find that the gymnosperms are
- 10:50more advantageous
- 10:53or more adapted to live on land because
- 10:56they now have the seeds.
- 10:58Uh though they still have vascular
- 11:00tissue, but they have sent another
- 11:02feature that makes them to be able to
- 11:05survive better than the pteridophytes.
- 11:08For example, if you take the bryophytes,
- 11:11they are non-vascular. Remember
- 11:13bryophytes, they are thallus plants.
- 11:15They have no root, stem, or tissue. They
- 11:18have no root, stem, or leaves. Meaning
- 11:20that they are survival on land.
- 11:23Um
- 11:25it's disadvantageous
- 11:27in when compared to to gymnosperms
- 11:30because the gymnosperms, they will have
- 11:32a vascular tissues. They also have
- 11:34seeds. Meaning that it that makes the
- 11:37gymnosperm to be more adapted than the
- 11:40bryophytes. Learners must also be able
- 11:42to compare
- 11:44uh
- 11:45any two plant groups that will be given
- 11:48in the examination.
- 11:51Next slide, Miss Singh.
- 11:58The next part is comparison of the
- 12:01gymnosperm and the angiosperm.
- 12:04Remember the gymnosperm and the
- 12:06angiosperm, they form a group which we
- 12:08called the spermatophytes. The
- 12:11spermatophytes meaning that they are
- 12:13seed bearing. But, they also have
- 12:16differences. The gymnosperm, they bear
- 12:20naked seeds that are exposed on the
- 12:22cone. Learners must write complete
- 12:25answers. And then, angiosperms,
- 12:28uh they bear the seeds that are enclosed
- 12:31in the ovary. They must just not say
- 12:34they bear seeds that are enclosed. They
- 12:36must be specific that they are enclosed
- 12:39in an ovary.
- 12:41And then, the next group, why bryophytes
- 12:43are not well suited to terrestrial life.
- 12:47Uh they do not have the vascular
- 12:49tissues, meaning that they don't have
- 12:51xylem and phloem to transport water. It
- 12:54means they don't even have a
- 12:56strengthening tissue. That is the
- 12:58bryophytes, hence they will struggle or
- 13:00hence they will have a short lifespan.
- 13:03But, when you look at the gymnosperm and
- 13:05the angiosperm,
- 13:08uh they are well suited for terrestrial
- 13:10life because they possess the vascular
- 13:13tissue or the conducting tissue to push
- 13:15water up to the tips of the plants. And
- 13:18then, also the presence of seeds, they
- 13:21ensure that
- 13:23uh they survive.
- 13:25Next slide, Miss Sim.
- 13:31That is animal diversity.
- 13:35Um all the animals, they belong to the
- 13:39kingdom. I think learners they still
- 13:41remember that they must be able to know
- 13:44[snorts] all the kingdoms.
- 13:46Uh
- 13:47the first thing on animal diversity,
- 13:50learners must be able to differentiate
- 13:52between the invertebrates and
- 13:55vertebrates. They must be able to do so.
- 13:58Uh we know that the invertebrates are
- 14:00organisms without a backbone. The
- 14:02vertebrates,
- 14:04animals that they have a backbone.
- 14:07The next part, they must also be able to
- 14:10know
- 14:12the two germ layers.
- 14:14Um diploblastic and triploblastic, they
- 14:18must also be able to identify the
- 14:21different organisms, whether they are
- 14:23diploblastic or they are triploblastic.
- 14:27And then this is the diagram uh that
- 14:29show the two germ lay- the two
- 14:33differences in germ layers. The first
- 14:35one of a diploblastic, you can see that
- 14:37if it is diploblastic, it means it only
- 14:40have the ectoderm and the endoderm. But
- 14:45if it is triploblastic, it has
- 14:48the ectoderm, which is the outer part,
- 14:51the mesoderm, and the endoderm.
- 14:55I think it is clear
- 14:57learners. And then we go to the next
- 15:01part, let me see. Um
- 15:04Learners must be able to identify the
- 15:08different phyla. Yes, and then
- 15:12when given different diagrams of the
- 15:15different
- 15:16uh organisms, they must be able to
- 15:21to identify which one
- 15:24is asymmetric, which one is bilateral
- 15:28symmetric, which one is radial
- 15:30symmetric. They must also be able to see
- 15:34or to say how many tissue layers, and
- 15:37then also the number of the gut
- 15:39openings, and the presence of a body
- 15:42cavity. When given any diagrams, I've
- 15:44just made an example with these three
- 15:47diagrams, they can be more in the
- 15:49examination. So it means for each and
- 15:52every group or each and every phyla,
- 15:56learners must be able to identify all
- 15:58these organisms, it falls under Porifera
- 16:02or it fo- it falls under
- 16:04Platyhelminthes.
- 16:05And then whether it will it will be
- 16:07bilateral symmetry or radial symmetry or
- 16:11the symmetry will be
- 16:14Yes.
- 16:15Then we go to the next part of with the
- 16:18type of symmetry. Learners must also be
- 16:21able to identify a symmetry and be able
- 16:25to explain the symmetry.
- 16:27Um
- 16:29For example, we have the first organism
- 16:31as the sponge
- 16:33in that diagram.
- 16:35Um
- 16:36Learners must be able to identify the
- 16:39symmetry there.
- 16:41And then the next group, colleagues,
- 16:43learners must know this table. If they
- 16:46are given an example a diagram of a
- 16:49a sponge, they must know
- 16:51whether it's a symmetry, whether it has
- 16:53cephalization, or it's a coelom
- 16:56acoelomate, or coelomate, colleagues.
- 16:59Learners must also know this one.
- 17:02It's a given question. Also on the
- 17:05framework is there, meaning that
- 17:07learners must be able to know even the
- 17:09example of organisms that can be given.
- 17:13You
- 17:14are already given. For example,
- 17:16Porifera, they can be given a diagram of
- 17:19the sponge. In terms of Cnidaria, they
- 17:22are example of organisms that they will
- 17:23be given in the in the examination.
- 17:28So, they must be able to classify the
- 17:30organism according to a symmetry, tissue
- 17:34levels, or tissue layers, and also be
- 17:37able to know that it's coelomate or it's
- 17:40acoelomate.
- 17:44And then the next part
- 17:48uh is also a given. It's there on the
- 17:51assessment framework.
- 17:53The role of invertebrates in a Greek.
- 17:57And then when they are given an example
- 17:59of an insect, they must also be
- 18:02able to
- 18:04to state the
- 18:06the role of the organism. For example,
- 18:08we have a honeybee,
- 18:10and then it plays a role in pollinating
- 18:13the flowers. We They can also be given
- 18:16another example except the honeybee, but
- 18:18the role of this invertebrates is to
- 18:21make sure in a week is to pollinate the
- 18:24flowers and then the earthworm
- 18:27they play a role the role in soil
- 18:30aeration. Earthworms they tunnel through
- 18:33the soil which aerates the soil meaning
- 18:35that it allows water to infiltrate
- 18:39and then they also eat decomposed dead
- 18:41organic material. The feces of the
- 18:44earthworm are rich in nutrients for
- 18:47plants and enrich the soil. That is it.
