IV. ACTIVITY/EXERCISE:
Direction: Fill in the diagram with different real-life applications where we can observe the unifying themes
of life. Give at least one (1) example for each unifying theme inside the boxes.

Structure and function are

All levels of life have system of
related parts. Example of it are
the "human anatomy systems",
as groups of organs and tissues
that work together to perform
important jobs for the body.
UNIFYING THEMES OF effectively.
LIFE
Evolution- In humans, for
example the eye color, it is
inherited characteristic and an
individual might inherit the
brown-eye trait from one of
their parents
related, the way something is
arranged enables it to play its
role. For example, the cells
within tissues are generally
arranged to carry out the
function of the organ most
Homeostasis- the maintenance of
healthy blood pressure is an
example of hemeostasis. The heart
can sense changes in blood
pressure, sending signals to the
brain, which then sends
appropriate instructions back to
the heart.
