Study of Life
Themes & Concepts
Based on work by Foglia, Goldberg

Umbrella Concepts Big Ideas and Recurring Principles

AP Biology 2013
Why study Big Ideas in Biology? Biology is an ever expanding body of
knowledge… too much to memorize it all need to generalize create a framework upon which to
organize new knowledge themes are fundamental in
understanding the nature of living organisms

Big Idea #1
The process of evolution drives the diversity and
unity of life.

Organizing Life’s Diversity Making sense out of
the diversity Hierarchical scheme

Nothing in biology makes sense
except in the light of evolution.
— Theodosius Dobzhansky

Evolution Core theme of biology
Charles Darwin

AP Biology 2013
Natural selection Evolutionary
adaptation is a product of natural selection

AP Biology 2013
Unity and Diversity Dual aspects of life
on Earth Unity –
What do organisms have in common?
Why do similarities exist?
Diversity – What differences are
there between organisms?
![Page 11: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AP Biology 2013
Unity and Diversity Unity
evolutionary relationships connected through a common ancestor
Diversity natural selection adaptations in
different environments

AP Biology 2013
Big Idea #2
Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce
and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
![Page 13: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AP Biology 2013
Energy transfer Life is an open system
organisms continuously interact with the environment
stuff comes instuff goes out
energy is used
Entropy rules!

Levels of organization
![Page 15: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AP Biology 2013
Form follows function Structure & function are correlated at
all levels of biological organization
![Page 16: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AP Biology 2013
Big Idea #3
Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to
information essential to life processes.
![Page 17: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AP Biology 2013
Continuity & change Continuity of life is based on heritable
information in the form of DNA DNA – the genetic
material – carries biological information from 1 generation to the next
![Page 18: Study of Life Themes & Concepts](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813654550346895d9dda91/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
