LESSON 16 Biology Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines (fan tarmoqlari). Among the most important topics are five unifying principles that can be said to be the fundamental axioms of modern biology. They are : Cells are the basic unit of life New species and inherited traits are the product of evolution Genes are the basic unit of heredity (nasl) An organism regulates its internal environment to maintain a stable and constant condition Living organisms consume and transform energy. Subdisciplines of biology are recognized on the basis of the scale at which organisms are studied and the methods used to study them: biochemistry examines the rudimentary chemistry of life; molecular biology studies the complex interactions of systems of biological molecules; cellular biology examines the basic building block of all life, the cell; physiology examines the physical and chemical functions of the tissues (to’qima), organs, and organ systems of an organism; and ecology examines how various organisms interact and associate with their environment. Biology deals with the study of the many varieties of living organisms. The term biology is derived from the Greek word bios, "life" and the suffix -logia, "study of." It appears in German (as biologie) as early as 1791, and may be a back-formation from the older word amphibiology (meaning the study of amphibians) by deletion of the initial amphi-. Although biology in its modern form is a relatively recent development, sciences related to and included within it have been studied since ancient times. Download 1.6 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
