Biology is the study of organisms, from the smallest viruses through human beings. It is a search for the mechanisms and processes of life, and a better understanding of what drives this life on Earth.

Biology links and information:

Animal Physiology: Study of animals and understanding of major body functions. This includes developing a fundamental understanding of how bodies as a whole, as well as tissues and cells, work (cell physiology, histology). These discoveries can lead to information about human health and medical needs.

Biochemistry: Study of the relationship of chemistry and biology. This field includes protein structure and function, enzymes, metabolic pathways, DNA, RNA, molecular biology, and recombinant technology (gene cloning, etc.).
Cell and Molecular Biology Online
Molecular Modeling
PredictProtein (for protein structures)

Cell Biology: Study of cell structure, function, and metabolism. Includes study of secretion, endocytosis (internalization), cell organelles, the life cycle of cells, cell division, cell movement, cell-to-cell communication, gene expression, and cancer.
Dictionary of Cell Biology

Evolutionary Biology: The study of diversity of life and its origins. It includes examining the genetic and developmental basis of evolutionary change, processes at the population level, Darwin's theory of Natural Selection, systematics, ecology, paleontology, and the concepts of fitness and adaptation.
