Unifying Themes in Biology

• A unifying theme in the field of biology is the common characteristics shared by all living organisms.
• Despite their diversity, all organisms share certain fundamental characteristics, such as the need for energy, water, and nutrients.

Characteristics of Organisms

• All organisms have in common the ability to maintain homeostasis, respond to stimuli, grow and develop, reproduce, and evolve over time.
• These shared characteristics are the result of a common ancestry and the shared evolutionary pressures that have shaped life on Earth.

Importance of Energy

• Energy is essential for life, as it allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.
• The availability of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is crucial for the proper functioning of cells and the maintenance of life.

Scientific Method in Biology

• Biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, and form conclusions about the natural world.
• The scientific method involves making observations, forming hypotheses, and testing these hypotheses through experimentation and data analysis.

Subdisciplines of Biology

• A subdiscipline within biology is defined by the nature of their research questions and the tools that they use.
• Examples of subdisciplines include microbiology, botany, zoology, ecology, and molecular biology, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the biological world.
