By helping us understand the genetics of our pets, examining the importance of biodiversity, and through the study of green energy. What is biology? the scientific study of life What functions are properties of life? Organisms take in energy and use it to perform life's activities, organisms reproduce their own kind, and living things exhibit complex but ordered organization. What are two main processes upon which ecosystems depend? Nutrient recycling and energy flow. Which substance is NOT recycled but rather lost from ecosystems? energy.
