INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY
Biology is the scientific study of living organisms, their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and interactions with their environment. It encompasses various fields, including botany, zoology, microbiology, and genetics. Key characteristics of living organisms studied in biology include nutrition, respiration, reproduction, excretion, growth, movement, and response to stimuli. Biology provides insights into the complexity of life, the diversity of organisms, and the mechanisms that sustain ecosystems, making it essential for understanding health, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
