The theory of evolution states that all organisms change over the course of time due to environmental/ Earth changes. Natural selection is the main mechanism driving this change. Yet, for life on Earth, there are many unifying characteristics that we all share that form an unbroken bond between all organisms.  Energy and Matter, heredity and the genetic code, interrelationships among organisms. These are the “Big Ideas” that bind us all.     Each of the following are contributed toward the Living Systems of today:  Biochemistry and the “Big 4 Macromolecules” The cellular nature of life Metabolism and energy (Photosynthesis and respiration) Heredity and the universality of DNA (gene control too) Evolutionary mechanisms   Describe how the vast variety of species of living things came to be, and still tie in all of the similarities they share. How does each of ALL the mentioned above help shape the Unity and Diversity of Life on Earth? Include sources if applicable.a
