S.Y. 2018 – 2019

3RD QUARTER
SCIENCE 10

CONTENT STANDARD:
The learner demonstrates an understanding of :
 Organisms as having feedback mechanisms, which are coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems.
 How these feedback mechanisms help the organism maintain homeostasis to reproduce and survive.
 The information stored in DNA as being used to make proteins.
 How changes in a DNA molecule may cause changes in its product.
 Mutations that occur in sex cells as being heritable.
 How evolution through natural selection can result in biodiversity.
 The influence of biodiversity on the stability of ecosystems.
 An ecosystem as being capable of supporting a limited number of organisms.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD:
The learner shall be able to:
 Write an essay on the importance of adaptation as a mechanism for the survival of a species.
