Purpose: To convey that Biology is as important a scientific discipline as Mathematics, Physics and
Chemistry

Bring out the fundamental differences between science and engineering by drawing a comparison
between eye and camera, Bird flying and aircraft. Mention the most exciting aspect of biology as an
independent scientific discipline. Why we need to study biology? Discuss how biological observations

ultrastructure- prokaryotes or eucaryotes. (c) energy and Carbon utilisation -Autotrophs,
heterotrophs, lithotropes (d) Ammonia excretion – aminotelic, uricoteliec, ureotelic (e) Habitata-
acquatic or terrestrial (e) Molecular taxonomy- three major kingdoms of life. A given organism can
