Study Notes
Biology as a Discipline
- Biology is a natural science studying living organisms.
- It's a vast field, prompting specialization among biologists.
- Specializations are categorized by scale or organisms studied.
Scale of Biological Study
- Includes molecular biology (molecules within cells), genetics, and biochemistry.
- Covers cellular biology (basic unit of life).
- Studies whole organisms through anatomy and physiology.
- Examines groups of organisms (animal behavior, population biology).
- Encompasses entire communities via ecology and systematics.
