Study Notes
Biology
- Biology is unified as a single, coherent field by the shared characteristics of life and the interactions between organisms and their environment.
- The unity and diversity of life are explained by the theme of evolution.
Biology of Life
- Organisms are able to move, grow, and reproduce due to the presence of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life.
Levels of Organization
- Biologists study life at various levels of organization, including molecules, cells, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biospheres.
Scientific Method
- Biologists make observations and pose questions to develop hypotheses and theories about the natural world.
Physics
- Physics is the natural science of matter and energy.
- Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, including biophysics, geophysics, and quantum chemistry.
- A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.
- Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and, through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest.
- New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental laws and principles that govern the behavior of the physical universe.
