Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Biology : The scientific study of life and addresses questions about how cells form organisms, how body systems function, and how organisms interact in communities.

★ Must-know

  • The seven characteristics of life are:
    • order
    • regulation
    • energy processing
    • growth and development
    • reproduction
    • response to the environment
    • evolutionary adaptation

Further detail

📌 Whether viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 are considered living remains a question within the characterization of life.

Memory Hook

OREGR: Order, Regulation, Energy processing, Growth, Reproduction, Response, evolutionary adaptation

2. Central Themes of Biology

★ Must-know

  • The five unifying themes of biology are (Campbell, 2020):
    • organization of life
    • flow of information
    • flow of energy and cycling of matter
    • evolution and diversity
    • interaction
