Biology: The Science of Life
Definition of Biology
Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms, encompassing their structure,
function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy
...
Development of Biology as a Science
Biology has evolved significantly since its early days:
Ancient Contributions: Early biological studies were conducted by Greek
philosophers like Aristotle, who classified organisms and studied their anatomy
...
17th to 19th Century: The invention of the microscope by Antonie van
Leeuwenhoek and the formulation of cell theory by Schleiden and Schwann were
pivotal
...
20th Century to Present: The discovery of DNA’s structure by Watson and Crick,
the advent of molecular biology, and advancements in genetic engineering have
transformed biology into a highly dynamic field
...
Observation: Gathering data about living organisms and their environments
...
Hypothesis Formation: Proposing explanations based on observations
...
Experimentation: Conducting experiments to test hypotheses
...
Data Analysis: Analyzing experimental data to draw conclusions
...
Peer Review and Publication: Sharing findings with the scientific community for
validation
...
Zoology: Study of animals
...
Genetics: Study of genes and heredity
...
Evolutionary Biology: Study of the origins and changes in the diversity of life over
time
...
Molecular Biology: Study of biological processes at the molecular level
...
Cell Theory: All living organisms are composed of cells, and the cell is the basic
unit of life
...
Gene Theory: Traits are inherited through gene transmission
...
Evolution: Species evolve over time through natural selection and genetic drift
...
Homeostasis: Living organisms maintain a stable internal environment
...
Energy Flow: All living organisms require energy, which flows through an
ecosystem
...
Abiogenesis: Life arose naturally from non-living matter through chemical
processes
...
Panspermia: Life was seeded on Earth from extraterrestrial sources
...
Hydrothermal Vent Hypothesis: Life began at hydrothermal vents on the ocean
floor, where mineral-rich water supports chemical reactions
...
Organization: Complex and organized structure, from cells to tissues to organs
...
Metabolism: Chemical processes that provide energy and build cellular
structures
...
Homeostasis: Regulation of internal conditions to maintain life
...
Growth and Development: Increase in size and complexity over time
...
Reproduction: Ability to produce new individuals, either sexually or asexually
...
Response to Stimuli: Ability to respond to environmental changes
...
Adaptation: Ability to evolve over generations to better fit their environment
