The Study of Biology

Biology is the scientific study of life, encompassing a broad scope with unifying themes.
Organisms are composed of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be passed on to future generations.
Evolution is a major theme in biology, explaining the unity and diversity of life.
Energy processing is crucial for life, enabling organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
All organisms have the ability to regulate their internal environments.
Biologists study life at various levels, from molecular biology to the evolution of populations.
There are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by their research questions and tools used.
Biologists, like other scientists, use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions.
Life on Earth emerged over 3.7 billion years ago and is immensely diverse.
Biologists classify various forms of life, from prokaryotic organisms like archaea and bacteria to eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
Biology encompasses the study of anatomy, physiology, and the molecular biology of cells.
Biologists seek to understand and explain the world around them through the study of life.
