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.
