Life is organised - it “works, grows, reproduces, responds to stimuli and adapts,” and it is these characteristics which form the basis of the study of Biology. Biology comprises a range of inter-linked disciplines which take life from the molecular level, through cells, tissues and organisms, right through to ecosystems.
