1. The picture shows how living organism is produced through reproduction. At the same
time it also shows how trait from the two parents to the offspring is passed. (The
unifying theme describe from the picture shown is reproduction and inheritance).
2. Man does the fishing to have the food to eat. At the same time the fishes are
interacting with the environment to survive through the presence of water, light and
Oxygen gas released by plants. (The unifying themes describe are the Interaction with
the Environment and Energy and Life)

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
of plants, animals, dog (in the picture shown) and the abiotic factors. Plants depend on
its environment for survival, same with the man.
