WHAT IS BIOLOGY

1. (Biology) the study of living organisms, including

their structure, functioning, evolution,
distribution, and interrelationships
IMPORTANCE OF BIOLOGY
1.Knowledge of nature.
2.Benefits to man.
3.Role in medicine.
4.Contribution to research
5.Safeguard and Conservation of nature
 Biological Drawing
Labeling should be done in a column at the right-hand side of your page. Try to maintain an alignment
to the best of your abilities.

Always use a scale for drawing the lines used for labeling purposes, and it’s more advisable to keep
those lines parallel to one another.

The lettering used for labeling should be kept in a horizontal alignment. Try to avoid vertical lettering
unless you are specifically instructed or constrained to do so.

Keep your lettering neat and intelligible such that the observer can understand it in a jiffy. For easier
comprehensibility, it’s more advisable to use block letters for lettering purposes (this isn’t mandatory
unless it’s specifically instructed in the question paper).

All biological drawings should be titled.

Shading specific areas of a diagram might look aesthetic to the eye, but this practice is not acceptable in
biology. Hence, the advice is to AVOID at all cost.

Try to draw the diagram on a single stroke of the pencil. Multiple strokes need to be avoided at all
possible costs.
 CELLS
Cell is the basic structural and functional unite of life.
All living things are made up of cells. Some organism
consist of one cell and are called Unicellular
organism e.g Amoeba, Paramecium and Euglena
Others are made up of many cells and care called
multicellular organisms. e.g Goats, Man, etc
 CLASSIFICATION OF CELLS
1. Alkaryotic cell: this is a cell that does not possess
nucleus. They grow and reproduce in the cells of
other organism. Eg Virus
2. Prokaryotic cell: they have nucleus but lack
membrane bound organells. Eg Bacterial
3. Eukaryotic cell: they have nucleus and membrane
bound organells. Eg Animal, Plants etc
