12. Theme 3: Structure and Function
• The structure determines /v cfior› and
function re//ecfs structure.
What something does
!n an organism is
directly related to its
shape or form
Structure and
function are related at
the level of chemicals
!n cells.
• Structure and function
are also related to the
level of the organism.

Theme 4: Reproduction and Inheritance
In hUTrans, an egg cRlI from the mother fuses with a Sperm cell from the father,
resulting in a fertilized cell containing a combination of DNA from both parents.
The inherited DNA directs the transformation of the fertili2ed egg into a person
with hislher eye color, facial features, and other characteristics. The inherited
information of DNA enables organisms to reproduce their kind.

Theme 6: Organisms Interact with Other Organisms And The Physical
Environment
In an ecosystem, each organism
interacts continuously with its
environment, including other
organisms and physica! factors.
'No man is an island." This
saying is aIsD true far organisms

exists in isolation. Individual
organisms live tDgether in an
ecosystem and depend Dn Dne

Theme 7: Organisms Must Maintain I-homeostasis to Survive in a Diverse
Environment
Homeostasis is the
maintenance of constant internal
conditions in an organism.
In negative feedback, a change
in a system causes a response
that tends tD return that system
to its original state.

Theme 8: Evolution and
Auslra Homo Homo H4mo Homo
Evolution is the change
in living things over time.
It is a change in the
genetic makeup of a
subgroup, Drpopulation,
of a species.
Natural selection of
genetic traits can lead to
the evolution of a new
species. In the end, this
genetic diversity is
responsible for the
diversity Df life on Earth.

Theme 9: Scientific Inquiry
In scientifc inqWy, scientists observe (collect data) and use inductive
reasoning to draw a general conclusion, which can be deveioped into a
testable hypothesis.
Humans learn abDUt the solution to various problems
The scientific methDd can give direction and pace for every inquiry, and
technology produced machinery to Ien9then the life of perishable
goods
The technology app/ies scientific hnowledge in new w'ays.
19. Theme 10: Biology and Society
The relationship of science to society becomes clearer when we add
technology to the picture.
SCIENCE (Biology)
The goal of science is to understand
natural phenomena.
Speak of "discoveries™
TECHNOLOGY
Applies scientific knowledge for
some specific purpose
Speak of "inventions."
Science and technology are interdependent. Modern biology is
changing humans' everyday lives.

24. PERFORMANCE TASK: TERRARIUM
Direction.’
1. Make a terrarium using recycled or
indigenous materials available in your
home.
2. It must contain plants (small),
animals (small) related to the food
th ch
3. It can be in any size, and the design
is only limited to the base and cover
See the sample picture on the right
hole. Materials should de mcycled or
indigenous.
4. Take a photo of your terrarium and
post it in the comment section.
