Biology is the science that studies living things. This includes how they look, what they’re made of and how they work, grow and change over time. Biology is a wide-ranging field with many different areas to explore.
Even though biology covers a lot, there are a few main ideas that connect it all:
- All living things are made of cells.
- Genes carry information from one generation to the next.
- Evolution explains how living things change over time and how new species are formed.
- Living things need energy to survive and stay balanced inside their bodies, a process called homeostasis.
