A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive

I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific

I am very good at Biology as it is the main subject required for this course and have a good understanding on a cellular level of organisms (plants and animals). I am a negotiator and prefer to work in teams‚ paying close attention to everyone’s opinion and making decisions accordingly. I have studied all three sciences at school level and because Biology was the subject I was very much interested in is what has compelled me to pursue a career in a Biology related field. At level 3 I am

“life.” How do we study life? Life is studied in biology‚ biology is the study of life because in biology we analyze specimens‚ like micro organisms and bigger organisms like the human body through microscopes. We also further analyze the 6 characteristics of life in biology. By experimentation‚ and observing various things like cells and animals‚ and trying to establish fact by finding a pattern.. Why do we study about life in biology? Well we study

The Five Themes of Biology Transfer of energy: the movement of energy from one place to another‚ matter can not be created nor destroyed Bioheat transfer: heat transfer in biological systems. How heat moves from one compartment‚ be it within the body or external to the body‚ to another compartment in the body Osmosis: Water moving from high concentration to a low concentration Diffusion: Particles moving from high concentration to a low concentration Unity and Diversity: how things are similar
