Description: Biology is the study of life. Biologists recognize that all living organisms share certain general properties that separate them from nonliving things. Our knowledge of biology helps us understand how all life on earth is connected. This knowledge can be used for many purposes, from wiping out deadly diseases to making sure there is enough clean air to breathe. - Chapter 1.
