Biology Basics

The unifying themes in biology are cells, hereditary information encoded in genes, evolution, energy processing, and the ability to regulate internal environments.

Energy processing is important to life because it allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.

Biologists can study life at multiple levels of organization, including molecular biology, anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and evolution of populations.
