Biology

 is the science of life. Its name is derived from the Greek words "bios" (life) and "logos" (study).
Biologists study the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution and distribution of living organisms.

Science
 Science (from the Latin word scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and
organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
 knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and
observation.

Biological Science
 any of the branches of natural science dealing with living things, such as
their structure, behavior, organization, life processes, as well as their interactions with each other and
with the natural environment.

Atom:

 It is the most basic and fundamental unit of matter.


 Smallest unit part of matter.
Molecule:

 The formation of chemical bonds between two or more atoms leads to the formation of a molecule.
 It is one of the most fundamental and stable components of matter.
Organelle:

 It is the subunit of a cell, and consists of a group of functioning biomolecules.


Biomolecules - a molecule that is produced by a living organism.
Cell

 It is considered as the basic unit and building block of life.


Tissue

 This level is a combination of different types of cells which perform specialized functions.
 The group of cells that form a tissue need not be identical, but they should have the same origin.
Organ

 It performs certain functions with the help of different tissues.


Organ System

 Organs working together to perform certain functions form organ systems.


Organism

 An organism could either be unicellular or multicellular. The ones that are closely related can be
grouped together under a single genus. An organism can be defined as the fully functional form of a
living being that can thrive in a particular environment.
Population

 It is the term used in reference to a group of organisms which belong to the same species that live in
the same area and interact with one another.
 They undergo interbreeding, and share food and space. The population of a particular species
indicates a close interaction between its organisms.
Community: Two or more populations together constitute a community. It is characterized by interactions that
take place between constituent populations of different species
Ecosystem

 includes the living organisms (all the populations) in an area and the non-living aspects of the
environment. An ecosystem is made of the biotic and abiotic factors in an area.
 The term ecosystem is defined as an area or environment, where one or more communities can thrive
and flourish.
Biome:

 It is an entity that is similar to an ecosystem and the term biome is a community of plants and animals
that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in.
 The definition of this stage is made in terms of the conditions (and not just space) that are suited to a
group of communities (plants, animals, microbes, etc.).
Biosphere

 It is simply defined as the place, area, and zone where the entire life on Earth exists
 The biosphere (from Greek bíos "life" and sphaira "sphere") also known as the ecosphere (from Greek
oîkos "environment" and ), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone
of life on Earth.

RELATIONSHIP OF ORGANISM

 Producers: Organisms that use sunlight and/or chemical compounds to produce their own
food.
 Consumers: Organisms that eat other organisms for energy.
 Species: A group of similar organisms that can breed with one another.
 Population: A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area.
 Community: All of the populations that live together in a certain area.
 Ecosystem: All of the organisms that live in a certain area and their nonliving environment.
 Symbiotic: Describes a relationship in which two species live closely together.
 Predation: An interaction in which one organism kills and feeds on another organism.
 Parasitism: Symbiotic relationship in which one organism lives in or on another organism (the
host) and harms the host.
 Mutualism: Symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship.
 Commensalism: Symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is not
helped or harmed.
 Amensalism: Symbiotic relationship in which one organism harms the growth of another
organism, while the organism itself is not affected.
 Predator: An animal that kills and eats other organisms.
 Prey: An animal that is killed and eaten by another organism.
