Study Notes

Unity of Biology

The unifying theme of biology is the concept of evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life.

Organization of Life

Biologists study life at multiple levels of organization, including:
- Organismal level
- Cellular level
- Molecular level
- Ecosystem level
- Biosphere level

Biological Processes

Organisms are capable of moving, growing, and reproducing due to the coordinated activities of their cells, tissues, and organs.

Subdisciplines of Biology

Biologists define subdisciplines within biology based on the level of organization, the type of organism, or the specific biological process being studied.
