    Unifying themes in

    the Study of Life


    EARTH & LIFE SCIENCE Q2 LESSON 2
    What is it?
    The unifying theme connects the different subdisciplines that make biology as a science. In
    addition to, the living organisms differ from non-living organisms in various aspects.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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 non-living things that interact.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    Organisms reproduce.
    - It is necessary part of living; process of making more of one’s own kind.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    What are these shared properties (of
    living organisms) that make something
    “alive”?
    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.
    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.
    In Conclusion
    Understanding how life came about is a deep scientific undertaking. Organisms’ function,
    structures, growth and origin are indeed one of many diverse topics that should be explored to
    grasp the complexities of life. Generally, the following statements provide key concepts on the
    unifying themes in the study of life.
    Statements that provide key concepts
    on the unifying themes in the study of
    life.
    1. Biology is about the study of life.
    2. The unifying themes connect the different subdisciplines that make up biology as a science.
    3. The unifying themes of biology comprise the cell theory as a description of living systems,
    continuity of life, interdependence of function and structure, evolution, unity of living systems
    and the properties that arise from the organization of life.
    4. The living organisms are composed of cells as what was discussed in the cell theory. The cell
    theory is the foundation of our understanding of reproduction and growth of organisms.
    5. The continuity of life is best explained by the molecular basis of inheritance. Heredity, which is
    the continuity of life from one generation to the next, is dependent on correct copying of cell’s
    DNA into daughter cells.
    Statements that provide key concepts
    on the unifying themes in the study of
    life.
    6. The function and structure are interdependent.
    7. The evolutionary change give rise to the diversity of life.
    8. Living organisms (biotic factors) are dependent on its environment which consists of non-
    living organisms (abiotic factors). Living organisms also interact with other living organisms.
    9. Biotic factors (living things) are defined by set of characteristics including the ability to
    reproduce, grow, move and ability to adapt to its environment. They need food, water and other
    abiotic factors for their growth and development.
    10. Abiotic factors are inanimate objects which include rocks, water, weather and other living
    things present in the environment.
    Statements that provide key concepts
    on the unifying themes in the study of
    life.
    11. Biological systems are organized.
    12. The study of Biology is important. It enables us to make appropriate decisions in life. Failure
    to grasp biological concepts lead into an inappropriate decision.
    13. One must value life by taking good care of all beings, humans, plants and animals.
