'''Biology''' is the [[Research|study]] of [[life]] and its processes. Biologists study all aspects of living things, including ''all'' of the many life forms on earth and the processes in them that enable life. These basic processes include the harnessing of energy, the synthesis and duplication of the materials that make up the body, the reproduction of the organism and many other functions. [[Biology]], along with [[chemistry]] and [[physics]] is one of the major disciplines of [[natural science]].
