What is the importance of energy processing in living organisms?

Energy processing allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.

What are the unifying themes of biology?

The unifying themes of biology are the cellular organization of organisms, hereditary information encoded in genes, evolution, energy processing, and the regulation of internal environments.

What are the different levels of organization that biologists can study?

Biologists can study life at multiple levels of organization, from the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and evolution of populations.
