organismal biology

Organismal biology is the study of individual living organisms, including their structure, function, development, and interaction with their environment. This field explores how different life forms—such as plants, animals, and microorganisms—grow, reproduce, and evolve. It also examines the diversity of life, the mechanisms of adaptation, and how organisms maintain homeostasis to survive. By understanding these processes, organismal biology provides insights into the complexity of life and the relationships among different species within ecosystems.
