I. Definition – biology:- The study of life

- bio = life- ology = the study of- All living things – 8 life functions

1.Transport:- absorption and circulation of materials

2.Respiration:- chemical process- how we obtain energy from food

3. Excretion:- removal of metabolic (cellular, liquid) wastes

4. Synthesis: (to make) - chemical activity- smaller molecules bigger molecules

#5 Regulation:- control and coordination of life activities- Nervous System + Endocrine System =

Regulation
