0. Preface
0.1.What is Biology?
Figure 0.1: Definition of Biology
Biology is the scientific study of life — from the tiniest microbes to the largest ecosystems on Earth. It is a field that seeks to understand the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and interactions of living organisms. Biology helps us answer fundamental questions about life, from how cells work to how species evolve over time, and even how life itself began.
0.2. The Origin of the Term "Biology"
The word biology comes from the Greek words "bios" (life) and "logos" (study). This term, coined in the early 19th century, reflects humanity's deep and enduring curiosity about the natural world. Ancient scholars such as Aristotle made early observations about plants and animals, laying the groundwork for biology as a formal science.
0.3. Nature of Biology as a Discipline
Biology is a vast and interdisciplinary science, connecting with fields such as chemistry, physics, environmental science, medicine, and engineering. Its focus ranges from the molecular and cellular level — the microscopic machinery of life — to entire ecosystems, where species interact in complex webs of life.
0.4. Key Characteristics of Biology
Diversity of Life Forms
Biology studies organisms of all shapes and sizes, from viruses and bacteria to plants, animals, and fungi.
Adaptation and Evolution
Biology explains how species change over generations in response to environmental pressures — a concept central to the theory of evolution.
Structure and Function
Biological structures, from cellular organelles to tissues and organs, are intimately linked to their functions.
