    UNIFYING THEMES IN THE STUDY OF LIFE

    The field of science that deals with the study of

    life is the Life Science or Biology. It involves

    different disciplines. These disciplines are

    connected to one another, through which

    biologist termed as unifying themes.


    Biological Systems

    A system consists of related


    parts that interact to form a
    whole. It has different parts,
    but each plays a significant
    role in the whole to function
    as one.
    Levels of Organization
    ● The cells are considered as the basic unit of life.
    ● When cells come together, they form the tissues.
    ● A group of tissues that perform the same
    functions form the organs.
    ● A group of organs that works together form
    different organ systems.
    ● An organism consists of many organ systems but
    functions as one individual.
    Forms and Functions

    The function of an
    organism or a part of an
    organism greatly
    depends on its form and
    structure. It is related to
    how it works.
    Reproduction and Inheritance
    • Reproduction ensures the survival
    of species.
    • In asexual reproduction, the
    offspring inherits the genes from a
    single parent.
    • In sexual reproduction, the
    offspring inherit the genes from two
    individual parents.
    Energy and Life
    • Living organisms obtain energy from the
    food they eat.
    • Plants undergo photosynthesis where
    they convert the energy from the sun into
    sugar.
    • Since most of the animals cannot produce
    their own energy, they get the energy from
    the consumption and assimilation of the
    biomass of plants and other animals.
    REGULATION

    • The ability of an organism to


    regulate its internal conditions is
    called homeostasis.
    • Humans must maintain a body
    temperature of 37 ∘ C.
    Adaptation and Evolution

    • Evolution is the change in organisms'


    physical and heritable traits over
    successive generations.
    • Organisms change over time to
    acclimate to their environment to
    survive. If they fail to adapt to the
    changes, they usually become extinct.
    • One contemporary example of
    adaptation is the Aedes aegypti,
    the mosquito famous for carrying
    dengue that caused major outbreaks
    nationwide.
    • Their eggs were able to survive with
    scarce or no rainwater which is
    essential to their life cycle.
    Directions: Choose the answer correctly.

    energy is trapped as the source of energy
    and is converted into chemical energy?
    A. adaptation
    B. evolution
    C. photosynthesis
    D. homeostasis
    2. Which of the following refers to the
    process by which changes occur in the
    characteristics of species of organisms
    over time?
    A. evolution
    B. homeostasis
    C. regulation
    D. metabolism
    3. Which of the following sequences is
    likely to be observed in an elephant,
    going from smallest to largest?
    A. cell, organ, tissue, organism
    B. cell, organ, system, tissue
    C. organism, system, organ, tissue
    D. cell, tissue, system, organism
    4. Which statement is not true about
    living organisms?
    A. Living things are made up of cells.
    B. Living things adapt and evolve to
    survive.
    C. Living things have different parts that
    depend on the structure and form for
    their functions.
    D. Living things are made of organic
    elements only.
