Study Notes
Biology Overview
- Biology is the scientific study of life, a natural science with a broad scope.
- It has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.
Unifying Themes
- All organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes.
- Genes can be transmitted to future generations.
- Evolution explains the unity and diversity of life.
- Energy processing is essential for life, allowing organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
- All organisms regulate their internal environments.
Levels of Organization
- Biologists study life at multiple levels, including:
- Molecular biology of a cell
- Anatomy and physiology of plants and animals
- Evolution of populations
Subdisciplines
- Multiple subdisciplines exist within biology, defined by:
- Nature of research questions
- Tools used
Scientific Method
- Biologists use the scientific method to:
- Make observations
- Pose questions
