Biology is a natural science that focuses on physical
and chemical processes of living organisms. This
discipline explores how organisms acquire and use
energy to maintain homeostasis, how they reproduce,
and how they interact with each other and their
environment. Scientific processes are emphasized as a
means of answering these biological questions.
Biologists rely heavily on a chemistry foundation since
living organisms are chemical systems.
