INTRODUCTION TO
BIOLOGY
The natural science which deals with study about living organisms.
LIVING ORGANISMS AROUND US ARE : PLANTS
ANIMALS
MICRO-ORGANISMS
Living organisms are different from non living objects due to
Ability of metabolism (chemical rxn/reactions).
Ability of sense and response.
Ability of reproduction etc.
ARISTOTLE - was first to study about living organisms
HENCE, known as father of biology
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF VIRUSES ?
These are at border line (neither living nor non-living)
Connecting links between living and non-living because :
they are very small to be seen through naked eyes.
hence , seen using microscope.
EXAMPLE : BACTERIA , FUNGI, ALGAE , VIRUS , PRIONS , PROTOZOA ,
ETC.
