Biology

Biology is the study of life, which is a characteristic of a living organism.


Definitions in the literature

  • In simple terms, biology is the study of life [1].
  • the study of all aspects of life and living things [2].
  • The scientific study of life [3].

It is quite odd that many textbooks, including those cited above, do not explicitly define “life”, although these define “biology”.
