- 1. Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environment. It encompasses a wide range of topics, from the structure and function of molecules within cells to the behavior and ecology of entire populations. Through the study of biology, we gain a better understanding of the diversity of life on Earth, how organisms adapt to their environments, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
