According to wikipedia

atBiology is the scientific study of life.[1][2][3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a

single, coherent field.[1][2][3] For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be

transmitted to future generations. Another major theme is evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life.[1][2][3] Energy processing is also

important to life as it allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.[1][2][3] Finally, all organisms are able to regulate their own internal

environments.[1][2][3][4][5]

Biologists are able to study life at multiple levels of organization,[1] from the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and

animals, and evolution of populations.[1][6] Hence, there are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by the nature of their research

questions and the tools that they use.[7][8][9] Like other scientists, biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions,

generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around them.[1]
