Biology: The Science of Life

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

Biology is not a natural science.

Evolution is not a major theme in biology.

All organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes.

Biologists do not use the scientific method to make observations and form conclusions.

Biologists classify life into two main groups: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.

All organisms are able to regulate their own internal environments.

Energy processing is not important to life as it does not allow organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.

Biologists do not use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around them.

The study of biology does not have several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.
