Biology is the science that studies life and living things, including the laws that govern
the phenomena of life.
Every aspect of life from the smallest submicroscopic living particle to the largest and
most imposing of plant and animal species is included in the study of biology. Biological
study encompasses all that is known about any plant, animal, microbe or other living thing of
the past or present.
Biology is a natural science because it is the study of organic (living) nature. It is the
science of fishes and fireflies, grass and grasshoppers, humans and mushrooms, flowers
and sea stars, worms and molds. It is the study of life on top of the highest mountain and at
the bottom of the deepest sea. Biology is the accumulated knowledge about all living things
and the principles and laws that govern life. Those who specialize in biology are known as
biologists or naturalists, and it is through their observations of nature and natural
phenomena that the great ideas of biology have been born.
