organismic biology

Organismic biology is the study of individual living organisms and their interactions with their environment. It examines how these organisms function, grow, reproduce, and evolve. This field covers a variety of life forms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, exploring their physiological processes, behavior, and relationships within ecosystems. By understanding these aspects, organismic biology helps us appreciate biodiversity and the roles different organisms play in maintaining ecological balance. It combines principles from genetics, ecology, and physiology to provide a holistic view of life on Earth.
