ANSWER!
Earth is the home of organisms, including animals,
plants and microorganisms. They are found in the
different parts of the said planet. The ecosystems-the
biological communities- include living organisms
(biotic factors) like animals, plants, insects and
bacteria (interacting to its environment), as well as
the nonliving components (abiotic factors) like the
rock, soil, water and sunlight. Non-living things are
classified as inanimate objects that may influence,
alter or impact the life of biotic factors. These abiotic
factors are essential to biotic factors in various ways.
UNIFYING THEMES IN THE STUDY OF LIFE
1. name the unifying themes in the study of life;
2. describe the unifying themes illustrated;
3. explain the connection among living things and their
interaction with the environment;
4. give details on how these themes serve as the
foundation in the study of biology.
5. value life by taking good care of all beings, human, plants
and animals.
The field of science that deals with
the study of life is the Life
Science/Biology. It involves different
disciplines. These disciplines are
connected to one another, through
which the biologist termed as
unifying themes.
Biology is the discipline of science that
deals with the study of life. As a wide-
ranging and complex science, biologists
designed the term “unifying themes”,
which serve as the bases for the study of
life.
The unifying theme connects the
different subdisciplines that make biology
as a science. In addition, the living
organisms differ from nonliving
organisms in various aspects. What are
these shared properties (of living
organisms) that make something “alive”?
Activity 2:
The following are the unifying
themes. Can you name them?
1. 2. 3.
4. 5.
Create a visual
representation of each
theme, then explain how
your picture is
connected to the theme
.

▪ ALL LEVELS OF LIFE HAVE SYSTEMS
OF RELATED PARTS.
➢A system is an organized group of interacting
parts.
➢A cell is a system of chemicals and
processes. It is the basic unit of life.
➢A body system includes organs that interact.
An ecosystem includes living and nonliving
things that interact
▪ Structure and function are related in
biology.
➢ Structure determines function.
➢ The structure is the shape of the object.
➢ The function is the object’s specific role.
▪ Organisms reproduce.
➢It is necessary part of living; process
of making more of one’s own kind.
▪ Traits are being inherited and
transferred.
➢ The continuity of life depends on the
inheritance of biological
information in the form of DNA
molecules.
➢ The genetic information is encoded in the
nucleotide sequences of the
DNA.
▪ Organisms are interdependent with one
another.
➢Organisms have evolved to live and
interact with other organisms.
➢Ecology deals with the interactions of
living organisms with one another and
their environment.
▪ Organisms acquire and process energy.
➢Living organisms use a source of energy for
their metabolic activities.
➢Some living organisms capture the light
energy and convert it into chemical energy
in food.
➢Some living organisms use chemical energy
stored in molecules obtained from food.
▪ Organisms must maintain homeostasis
to survive in diverse environments.
➢Homeostasis is the maintenance of
constant internal conditions.
➢All living organisms must live in a stable
environment.
▪ Evolution explains the unity and diversity
of life.
➢Evolution is the change in living things over
time. The genetic makeup of a population of
a species changes.
➢It accounts for both the diversity and the
unity of life.
▪ Science, Technology and Society
➢Many technologies are goal-oriented
applications of science.
➢The relationships of science and
technology to society are now more crucial
to understand than ever before.
▪ Scientific Inquiry
➢The process of science includes
observation-based discovery and the
testing of explanations through the
hypothetic-deductive.
➢Scientific credibility depends on the
repeatability of observation and
experiments.
▪ Think of it!
▪ What is the level of organization of living
organisms?
▪ Why do organisms reproduce?
▪ Why do organisms adapt?
▪ In what way do living organisms acquire
energy?
▪ Why is energy significant?
1. “It takes a village to educate a child” according to
Ancient African proverb, it says that every part of the
community (family, school, church and government) do
their roles to support every individual or the
community itself, how will you relate it to the theme of
Biological system in an organism?
