Biologists study how humans and other living organisms interact with their environment.
Biology is the scientific study of life and is the branch of science that studies living
organisms and the way organisms interact with their environments.
To be considered alive, something must be made up of -Be made of materials organized in a hierarchical pattern.
5 distinct qualities: -Use energy and raw materials to survive.
-Sense and respond to changing environments and maintain internal stability, or
homeostasis.
-Grow, develop, and reproduce.
-Be part of a population that evolves.
cell smallest living organism that shows all 5 characteristics of life
Matter any substance that has mass and takes up space.
All matter can be classified in one of two categories: biotic (living or having lived) or abiotic (nonliving and never having been alive).
biotic living or having lived

Atom basic unit of matter
molecule a chemical structure consisting of at least two atoms held together by a
chemical bond
Macromolecules biologically important molecules that are technically polymers

two main types of cells prokaryotes and eukaryotes
prokaryotes small and simple; they do not have any clearly defined compartments inside of

eukaryotes include membrane-bound organelles
