HSC Biology Notes 1.3

Biology is the natural science that involves the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical composition, function, development, and evolution. Modern biology is a vast field, composed of many branches. The study of biology involves learning about living organisms and life processes in all of its forms, from a molecular level, through cells and individual organisms to populations and whole communities of animals and plants. There are 59 lessons in the HSC Study Lab HSC Biology course, which corresponds to the 90 indicative hours of study required by the syllabus.

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy. Biology, defined as the scientific study of life, is an incredibly broad and diverse field. In many ways, it’s as kaleidoscopic and rich as living organisms themselves. Biologists study life at many scales, from cells to organisms to entire ecosystems. Begin your own biological journey here!
