Parent topics

Subtopics

  • Origin of life [r]: How did self-replicating biochemistry and cells arise from the prebiotic world approximately four billion years ago? Aka abiogenesis. [e]
  • Evolutionary biology [r]: The study of the origin and descent of species, as well as their change, multiplication, and diversity over time. [e]
  • Botany [r]: The study of plants, algae and fungi (mycology). [e]
  • Physiology [r]: The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of tissues and how they interact. [e]
  • Autopoiesis [r]: The concept of a living system as autonomously self-organizing within its physical boundary, generating and continually regenerating its own components, thereby maintaining the molecular and supramolecular hierarchy of interacting networks that self-organize and self-perpetuate the system. [e]

Other related topics

  • Systems biology [r]: The study of biological systems as a whole. [e]
  • Homeostasis (biology) [r]: The coordinated physiological reactions which maintain most of the steady states in an organism. [e]
  • Evolution [r]: A change over time in the proportions of individual organisms differing genetically. [e]
  • Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. [e]
  • Evolution of cells [r]: The birth of cells marked the passage from pre-biotic chemistry to partitioned units resembling modern cells. [e]
  • Metabolism [r]: The modification of chemical substances by living organisms. [e]
  • Life/Addendum: Supplementary text to main article Life and Life/Draft
  • Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
  • Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. [e]
  • Organic chemistry [r]: The scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds of carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements. [e]
  • Aristotle [r]: (384-322 BCE) Ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, and one of the most influential figures in the western world between 350 BCE and the sixteenth century. [e]
  • Self organization [r]: The emergence of hierarchical structure from stochastic interactions. [e]
  • History of biology
