THE EVOLVING CONCEPT OF LIFE

OBJECTIVES:
1, MELC: 1. Explain the evolving concept of life based on emerging pieces of evidence.
2. Describe how unifying themes (e.g., structure and function, evolution, and
ecosystems) in the study of life show the connections among living things and how
they interact with each other and with their environment.

2. Content: The historical development of the concept of life ; Origin of the First Life Forms;
Unifying themes in the study of life.

3. Formation Standard:
1. Promotes harmonious relationship based on mutual trust and respect;;
2. Creates a positive atmosphere of fidelity, trust and communion and offers good
example for emulation.

KEY CONCEPTS:
1. Biology is the science that deals with the study of life processes of living organisms and the
search for solutions to problems associated with them
2. Biology is divided into many branches and specialized fields that correlate and overlap
with one another.
3. There are many theories and studies done to trace the origin of life on earth.
4. The study of biology is important because it helps in understanding the hows and whys of
living systems.
5. Living things exhibit unique characteristics that make them different from non-living
things.
6. Living things need energy to carry out all life’s processes. Living things get energy
from food.

SCIENCE 10 1|Page
 7. Organisms use different ways to obtain and use energy. Autotrophs make their own
food while heterotrophs get energy from the food they consume.
8. Glucose and ATP are used for energy by organisms.
9. The cell theory states that cells are the basic unit of life, all living things are made up of cells,
And all living things came from pre-existing cells.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES: NOTE:

5. John Needham performed an experiment testing spontaneous generation. He boiled
chicken broth, placed it in a sterile flask, and then sealed the flask. After a few days,
Needham observed microorganisms in the flask. Based on current understanding, how was
his experiment flawed?
a. Boiling activated dormant microorganisms present in the broth.
b. After Needham boiled the broth, microorganisms entered the air.
c. He did not boil the broth long enough to kill all microorganisms present.

7. Panspermia is the name given to the theory that life originate from__
a. undersea thermal vents b. a primordial soup c. the ocean d. the universe
8. The theory of Spontaneous generation states that
a. life was created by a supreme being.
b. living organisms can be created from nonliving matter.
c. life can only come from the reproduction of other living creatures.
d. even though higher level organisms cannot be created from inanimate objects,
It is possible for microorganisms to appear.
9. Lazaro Spallanzani and Louis Pasteur both performed experiments hoping to disprove
Spontaneous generation. What conditions existed in Pasteur’ s experiment that did not
exist in Spallanzani’ s experiment?
SCIENCE 10 2|Page

SYNTHESIS/REFLECTION:
How do biologists study life and explore its complexities?
Laboratory studies with animals, plants, microbes, or biomolecules are frequently carried out by biologists.
A tiny portion of biological research does, however, take place outside of the lab and may entail natural observation
as opposed to experimental.
