Biology is the scientific study of life.

The unifying themes in biology include the cellular structure of organisms, hereditary information encoded in genes, evolution, energy processing, and the ability of organisms to regulate their internal environments.

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