What is Biology?
Biology is the study of living things. The word biology comes from two Greek words Bios and Logos. The term Bios means life while logos means study, and when the two terms are combined we find the meaning of biology. Living things also called organisms, include plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms (single-celled organisms that we can not see by our eyes like bacteria or viruses)
