Welcome to the Associate Degree Biology

Biology is defined as the study of living organisms, their origins, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behaviour, and distribution.” 
Biology studies living things and the discipline defines a living creature, technically called a living "organism", as one that has a metabolism and reproduces. Biologists study living organisms from many different angles, including behaviour, evolution and ecology as well as cell and molecular biology and genetics. They study all different kinds of species from plants to insects, viruses to humans. Biology can also be combined with other fields. For example, biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology and biopsychology are all important fields related to biology.
Biologists can be found working everywhere — on and off the planet:

  • in a variety of environments to investigate ecosystems;
  • in the laboratory to examine how organisms work;
  • in the microscopic world to explore cells and the submicroscopic to explore molecules in cells;
  • in space to study the effect of space travel on organisms;
  • back in time to investigate the history of life.
