At the level of the cell, it is studied in cell biology and at multicellular scales, it is examined in physiology, anatomy, and histology.
While biology is unlike physics in that it does not usually describe biological systems in terms of objects which obey immutable physical laws described by mathematics, it is nevertheless characterized by several major principles and concepts which include: universality, evolution, diversity, continuity, homeostasis and interactions.
Cell biology studies the physiological properties of cells, as well as their behaviors, interactions, and environment; this is done both on a microscopic and molecular level.

 History of biology
The history of biology dates as far back as the rise of various civilization as classic philosophers did their own ways of biology as a system of understanding life.
Systematizing and classifying dominated biology throughout much of the 17th and 18th centuries, the most famous person here is Carl von Linné (1707-1778).

The term biology was coined in the late 1700s by the French naturalists Pierre-Antoine de Monet and Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck.
One the central, organizing concepts in biology is that all life has descended from a common origin though a process of evolution.
The evolutionary history of a species, i.e., the characteristics of the species from which it descended, is called the phylogeny of the species; it is studied using methods of molecular biology by analyzing biopolymer sequences of genes and proteins, and by investigating ancient forms of life in paleontology.

At the next level of the cell, it is studied in cell biology, and at multicellular scales, it is examined in physiology, anatomy, and histology.
Evolutionary biology is concerned with the origin and descent of species, as well as their change over time, and includes scientists from many taxonomically-oriented disciplines.
Evolutionary biology is mainly based on paleontology, which uses the fossil record to answer questions about the mode and tempo of evolution, as well as the developments in areas such as population genetics and evolutionary theory.

At the atomic and molecular scale, life is studied in the disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics.
The central organizing concept in biology is that all life has a common origin and has changed and developed through the process of evolution, which led to the striking similarity of units and processes discussed in the previous section.
Biology has become such a vast research enterprise that it is not generally reagarded as a single discipline, but as a number of clustered sub-disciplines.

 Origins of Life
A group at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego, exposed sulfur-bearing molecules like those thought to have been present before the Earth formed to low levels of light.
The presence of the light was enough to generate organic compounds - molecules containing carbon, which form the chemical basis of life as we know it.
It seems very likely that these small organic molecules, that are now known to form readily in the laboratory and appear to occur naturally extraterrestrially - that these are the first building blocks of life.
