Molecular-level understanding will carry your biology deep and far. 3. Energy - Follow the energy in the biological processes. A good deal of the cellular machinery, anatomy, physiology, and behavior biologists study is devoted to the production or acquisition or conservation or use of energy. Whatever aspect of biology you are studying may involve energy either directly or indirectly. 4. Language of Biology - Biologists use Greek- or Latin-derived terms you have never heard.
