The document discusses the unifying themes in the study of biology. It defines key terms like ecosystem, biotic and abiotic factors. The 10 unifying themes that connect different disciplines in biology are then listed, including emergent properties, cell structure, heritable information, interaction with the environment, regulation, unity and diversity, evolution, and scientific inquiry. The goal is to illustrate how these themes serve as the foundation for studying life and the connection between living things and their environment.

UNIFYING THEMES IN THE
STUDY OF LIFE OBJECTIVES:
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 human beings, plants, and animals. DIRECTIONS. CHOOSE THE LETTER OF THE BEST ANSWER. EARTH- home of organisms including animals, plants and microorganisms. ECOSYSTEM- the biological communities. LIVING ORGANISMS (biotic factors) like animals, plants, insects and bacteria (interacting to its environment). They are found in the different parts of the planets. NON-LIVING ORGANISMS- (abiotic factors) like the rock, soil, water and sunlight. - are classified as inanimate objects that may influence, alter or impact the life of biotic factors. - essential to biotic factors in various ways. BIOLOGY or LIFE SCIENCE Bio- means life Logy (logus)-means study - field of science that deals with the study of life. - This comprises number of disciplines such as biochemistry and ecology. - These disciplines are connected to one another, through which biologist termed as unifying themes, which serve as the bases for the study of life. The ten (10) unifying themes include: emergent properties cell heritable information structure or function interaction with the environment regulation unity and diversity Evolution scientific inquiry the science, technology and society NAME THE UNIFYING THEME ILLUSTRATED BELOW.
