    Unifying Themes of Life

    Uploaded by

    Kenneth Joban Maygay Bañaria
    This document outlines several unifying themes in the study of life, including interactions between organisms, organization, structure and function, stability and homeostasis, reproduction and inheritance, genetic information, matter and energy, and evolution. It provides definitions and examples for these themes, and suggests an activity for learners to analyze interactions in their own communities. The overarching goal is for learners to demonstrate an understanding of how these themes show connections among living things.

    UNIFYING

    THEMES OF
    LIFE
    CONTENT STANDARDS

    The learners demonstrate an


    understanding unifying themes in the study
    of life.
    PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

    The learners shall be able to value life by


    taking good care of all beings, humans,
    plants, and animals.
    OBJECTIVE
    At the end of 60 minutes, 75% of the
    learners will be able to:
    describe how unifying themes in the study
    of life show the connections among living
    things and how they interact with each
    other and with their environment
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

     Themes are distinct characteristics, pattern, and or


    quality.
     Emergent properties are new characteristics that are
    not present in the previous hierarchy of organization

    INTERACTION BETWEEN ORGANISMS
     Competition—when two or more organisms rely on the
    same environmental resource
    INTERACTION BETWEEN ORGANISMS
     Predation—behavior of one animal feeding on another
    INTERACTION BETWEEN ORGANISMS
     Mutualism—a symbiotic relationship where both
    organisms benefit
    INTERACTION BETWEEN ORGANISMS
     Commensalism—a symbiotic relationship where one
    organism benefits and one does not benefit but is
    unharmed
    INTERACTION BETWEEN ORGANISMS
     Parasitism—a symbiotic relationship where one
    organism benefits and one is harmed
    ORGANIZATION

     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.
     A body system includes organs that interact.
     An ecosystem includes living and nonliving
    things that interact.
    STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
     Structure determines function.
     Proteins with different structures perform
    different functions.
     Heart muscle cells have a different structure and
    function than stomach muscle cells.
     Different species have different anatomical
    structures with different functions.
    DIFFERENT CELLS

    Nerve Cell Bone Cell Blood Cell


    STABILITY AND HOMEOSTASIS

     Organisms must maintain homeostasis to survive


    in diverse environments.
     Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant
    internal conditions.
    REPRODUCTION AND INHERITANCE

     All organisms produce new organisms like


    themselves by transmitting hereditary information
    to their offspring.
     A short segment of DNA that contains
    instructions for a single trait is called a gene.
    GENETIC INFORMATION
    MATTER AND ENERGY
    EVOLUTION
     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.
     Adaptations are beneficial inherited traits that are
    passed to future generations.
     Natural Selection is the driving force behind
    evolution.
     Organisms that have certain favorable traits are
    better able to successfully reproduce.
     Evolution accounts for
    both the diversity and
    the unity of life.
    APPLICATION
    ANALYZING INTERACTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY

    1. Make a list of organisms that can be found living


    in your dwelling place.
    2. Make a table and record information about the
    relationships among members in this community.
    3. Two (2) for each type of interaction.
    Table 1. Relationships Among Members of the
    Community.
