Introduction
The study of Life Science involves different disciplines. It is connected with one
another as a science through the unifying themes that was being called by the
biologists. In this module it will emphasize the aspects that unify these themes that
comprise and serve as the basis of study of Life Science/Biology. It will also cover its
connections among living things and its environment. Different activities were prepared
to clarify the concepts.

10. Biology and Society
1. - A biological system is a group of entities or organs that work together to carry

out a particular task.
- It is a biological unit of the body of an organism. In higher forms of organisms
such as vertebrates (including humans), the biological systems include integumentary
system, lymphatic system, muscular system, nervous system, reproductive
system , respiratory system, skeletal system, endocrine system, immune system,
and urinary system.
- But these living organisms cannot be treated separately from the abiotic or
non-living factors: light, temperature, water, pH and salinity, both operating in such a
system.
2. - All living organisms are made up of cells.
- Cells are the basic unit of life.
3. - Living things cannot sustain life alone; many organisms are living together,
connected in one living system.
- Each living organisms interacts continuously with its environment.
4. - Energy is the ability to do activities of daily living.
- Living organisms perform different tasks that require movement. In doing these
tasks, they use energy either physically or physiologically.
5. - The structures and functions are correlated at all levels of biological
organizations.
- The form-fits-function theme also extends down to the cellular level. For
example, birds have long extensions of nerve cells that control their flight muscles.
6. - The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA.
- The passing of characteristics or traits from parents to offspring is called
heredity and is ensured through reproducing sexually or asexually
7. - Feedback mechanisms regulate biological systems.
- One example of this is the sweating, it regulates the body’s temperature. Once
the temperature is regulated, sweating will stop.
8. - All living organisms adapt to their environment in order to survive. Adaptation is
any response towards a stimulus that helps in the survival of an organism.
9. - Evolution refers to a change in a population of living organism over a time. It is
a continuous process in which change is constant and creation of new life forms
happens.
10. - Biology is the science that deals with the study of structures, functions,
and relationships of living things and their environment. This field is changing the
lives of all organisms through research. Advanced studies gave rise to

Unifying Themes Explanation/Example
1. Biological System - A biological system is a group of entities
or organs that work together to carry out a
particular task.
- It is a biological unit of the body of an organism.
In higher forms of organisms such as vertebrates
(including humans), the biological systems
include integumentary system, lymphatic
system, muscular system, nervous
system, reproductive system , respiratory
system, skeletal system, endocrine
system, immune system, and urinary system.
- But these living organisms cannot be treated
separately from the abiotic or non-living factors:
light, temperature, water, pH and salinity, both
operating in such a system.
2. Cellular Basis of Life - All living organisms are made up of cells.
- Cells are the basic unit of life.
3. Interaction with its environment - Living things cannot sustain life alone; many
organisms are living together, connected in one
living system.
- Each living organisms interacts continuously with
its environment.
4. Energy and Life - Energy is the ability to do activities of daily
living.
- Living organisms perform different tasks that
require movement. In doing these tasks, they use
energy either physically or physiologically.
5. Form and Function - The structures and functions are correlated at all
levels of biological organizations.
- The form-fits-function theme also extends down
to the cellular level. For example, birds have long
extensions of nerve cells that control their flight
muscles.
6. Reproduction and Inheritance - The continuity of life is based on heritable
information in the form of DNA.
- The passing of characteristics or traits from
parents to offspring is called heredity and is
ensured through reproducing sexually or
asexually
7. Regulation - Feedback mechanisms regulate biological
systems.
- One example of this is the sweating, it regulates
the body’s temperature. Once the temperature is
regulated, sweating will stop.
8. Adaptation - All living organisms adapt to their environment in
order to survive.
- Adaptation is any response towards a stimulus
that helps in the survival of an organism.
9. Evolution - Evolution refers to a change in a population of
living organism over a time. It is a continuous
process in which change is constant and creation

of new life forms happens.
10. Biology and Society - Biology is the science that deals with the study
of structures, functions, and relationships
of living things and their environment.
- This field is changing the lives of all organisms
through research. Advanced studies gave rise to
Biotechnology which is defined as the use of
living system or organisms to create new
products.
Activity 5.
The picture shows the interconnectedness of living things to its environment. It consists
