Study Notes

Unifying Theme in Biology

  • The concept of evolution explains both the unity and diversity of life; it highlights how species adapt and change over time through natural selection and genetic variation.

Organisms' Functions

  • Organisms possess structures called cells that enable movement, growth, and reproduction, supporting fundamental biological processes necessary for survival and development.

Common Component of Life

  • All living organisms are primarily composed of cells, which serve as the basic unit of life, allowing for organization, metabolism, and genetic information storage.

Scientific Study of Life

  • Biology is the scientific study of life, encompassing the investigation of living organisms, their interactions, and the ecosystems they inhabit.

Method of Biological Inquiry

  • The scientific method is employed by biologists to observe phenomena, generate questions, formulate hypotheses, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions based on empirical evidence.
