Biology is the science of life.[1] Biologists study all aspects of Earth's living things, including the dynamic processes within them that enable them to survive. Those vital processes include the harnessing of energy and matter, the synthesis of the materials that make up the body, the healing of injuries, and the reproduction of the entire organism, among many other activities. The mysteries of life have fascinated all peoples throughout history, and curiosity about the physical beings of people, plants, and animals exists in every known society. Some of that curiosity arises from a desire to control life processes and to exploit natural resources. Pursuit of the answers has led to an understanding of organisms that has steadily improved our standard of living. Other questions come from a desire to understand nature, rather than to control it; and, in answering these, biological investigation has changed our view of the world. Although the word 'biology' is sometimes used conversationally to refer to matters that concern flesh and blood, and living creatures, this introductory article focuses on biology as a formal science. Unlike non-scientists who are learned in natural lore, biologists formally employ the scientific method, and incorporate mathematics, biophysics, chemistry and other disciplines into their work.
This master list of buttons is used to define the buttons on the {{subpages4}} navigation box template.
- #A= name of subpage
- #B= name seen on the button
- #C = Indicates if the button represents a "Default" or "Optional" subpage, or a non functional button. Any subpage labelled "Default" will be placed at the top of the {{subpages4}} template whether the subpage exists or not (i.e. could be a red link button). Those labelled as "Optional" will only appear in the {{subpages}} template if they exist (i.e. will only show blue links). If the #C parameter is left blank it will be ignored as a button, even by the {{unused subpages}} template.
Buttons labelled "Button available" can be utlised for new subpages names after they have been approved by either the Editor-in-Chief or the Editorial Council. For a description of the full process see the following guide: How to add subpage types
