What is Biology

Biology is the study of living things. If something is alive, it will show "life activities." These are respiration (energy release), nutrition (feeding), excretion (getting rid of waste products), reproduction, growth, sensitivity (reacting to surroundings), and movement. Different branches of biology concentrate on particular areas, such as botany or zoology. So far, about 1.7 million species of living things have been identified. Millions of species have yet to be discovered and classified.
