Biology is the science that studies life phenomena and their laws, covering multi-level life systems from molecules and cells to individuals, populations and ecosystems. It explores the origin, structure, function, development, evolution of life and the interaction between organisms and the environment, aiming to reveal fundamental questions such as "why life exists", "how it operates" and "how it evolves". Its research objects include animals, plants, microorganisms and human beings themselves. It is one of the most fundamental and dynamic disciplines in natural science.
