The Handbook of Biology learn the branch of science that primarily deals with the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of organisms. As a science, it is a methodological study of life and living things. It determines verifiable facts or formulates theories based on experimental findings on living things by applying the scientific method.Table of Content1. The Study of Life2.

Conservation Biology and BiodiversityAll living things share a few key traits: cellular organization, heritable genetic material and the ability to adapt/evolve, metabolism to regulate energy needs, the ability to interact with the environment, maintain homeostasis, reproduce, and the ability to grow and change.Credits :Readium Project is a true open-source project, permissively licensed under the 3-part BSD license.
