    1. The students conducted an experiment to observe capillary action in celery stalks. They placed celery stalks in dyed water and observed colored spots rising up the stalks over 10-15 minutes. 2. Thin slices were taken from the bottom of the stalks and observed under a microscope. They identified xylem, which transports water and minerals, and phloem, which transports organic compounds. 3. The experiment demonstrated that plants regulate fluid transport through their vascular tissues, unlike animals which use circulatory and respiratory systems.

    c NARRATIVE
    In this activity, we examined how the regulation of fluid in plants take place
    through a stalk of celery. First, we filled the plastic cup with water and added a few
    drops of coloring food using a medicine dropper. It was mix until the food coloring has
    been spread out in the water. Then, we cut the bottom end of the celery stalk with a

    REPORT
    scalpel and was placed in the dyed- water. Our group waited for 10 –15 mins or until
    the colored dots on the bottom end of the celery stalk appeared.
    The removal of the stalk of the celery from the plastic cup =was done. After
    this, a scalpel was used again to cut off a very thin slice at the bottom of the celery stalk.
    The thin slice of celery was placed in the microscope slide with a coverslip. The tiny
    thin slice of celery stalk was observed using the microscope under the scanning (4x) and
    the low power (10x) objectives. The observations were recorded and illustrated to
    identify where the xylem and where is the phloem.

    CONCLUSION
    In this activity we learned that the osmoregulation of body fluid between
    animals and plants are different. In animals, they use their circulatory system together
    with the respiratory system to deliver nutrients and essential gases for the body wherein
    they specialized structures are responsible. On the other hand, plant uses their xylem
    and phloem for transporting water and essential nutrients needed for photosynthesis, In
    xylem, tracheids and vessels; tracheids conduct water more slowly than vessels, but
    provide protection against embolism (blocking of water flow by air bubbles). While
    phloem is the pathway for organic molecules .
