Study Notes
- Biology is the scientific study of life, a natural science with a broad scope and several unifying themes.
- All organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information in genes for transmission to future generations.
- Evolution is a major theme explaining the unity and diversity of life.
- Energy processing is essential for organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
- Biologists study life at multiple levels, from molecular biology to anatomy, physiology, and evolution of populations.
- Biology encompasses prokaryotic organisms like archaea and bacteria, as well as eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
- Life on Earth emerged over 3.7 billion years ago and displays immense diversity.
- Biologists employ the scientific method to make observations, ask questions, generate hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions.
