slides for study about studies of life. Why virus doesn't consist as life? Biology is the study of life.
The definition of life here is not only about human beings but also all living things such as animals and plants, bacteria and viruses, fungus and protists and those really are fascinating.
Biology is the scientific study of life
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms
Biologists ask questions such as:
- how can single cell develops into human?
- how living things interact in communities?
- how the human mind works
One of the basic needs in study biology is understanding the scientific method
Life defies a simple, one-sentence definition
Life is recognized by what living things do
Preparing to study biology
Biology is built on top of physics, chemistry, math and statistics. What should we know before starting biology?
If you are curious about biology or maybe want to plan to learn some branch of biology in the future, you must be wondering what "prerequisites" it has - that is, what other knowledge will give you a solid foundation to learn biology.
Also as a future scientist or maybe doctor you mentioned, the only strict prereqs for biology are curiosity, an open mind and willingness to think critically about natural living. If you have those, you can start learning biology without other background, as long as you're willing to pick up bits of chemistry, physics, statistics, and math along the way.
Below are some foundational topics that will help you get the most out of biology materials
- General science skills
One of the basic needs in study biology is understanding the scientific method.
- Chemistry
The other basic need in study biology is having a big picture view of chemistry and already knowing about atoms, molecules and chemistry interaction.
- Physics
In the next unit we will discuss the law of thermodynamics. What energy is and how energy is constantly flowing through ecosystems, organisms and cells.
- Statistics
You must study basic ways to find sets of data, such as mean, median and mode. These all can be a good start for deeper understanding about hypothesis testing.
Properties of life
Organization
All living organisms are made up of one or more cells, which are considered the fundamental units of life.
Even unicellular organisms are complex! Inside each cell, there are organelles and structures. How about multicellular organisms? All similar cells form tissues, tissues collaborate to create organs (body structures with a specific function). All organs work together to form body systems
Metabolism —- Energy Processing
Life depends on an enormous number of interlocking chemical reactions. These reactions make it possible for organisms to do work—such as moving around or even wink our eyes—as well as growing, reproducing, and maintaining the structure of living bodies. Living things must use energy and consume nutrients to carry out the chemical reactions that sustain life.
