Biology

Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms, encompassing a wide range of fields that explore the structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy of organisms. It examines various forms of life, from single-celled microbes to complex multicellular organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi. Biology is divided into numerous sub-disciplines, such as molecular biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and genetics, each focusing on specific aspects of life. The study of biology is essential for understanding the complexities of life processes, interactions among organisms, and their environments, as well as for addressing challenges in health, conservation, and biotechnology.
