An Overview of the Biology Portal
Simply put, biology is the study of life. We feel that it is extremely important for everyone to learn about biology in a fun an entertaining way. That is why we have begun to create this free, online guide. Currently, this portal is a work in progress, but that doesn't mean that none of the pages herein are useful. We've been working on the world biomes pages and the human biology portal and they're nearly ready.

The Organization of the Biology Portal
The study of biology can be divided into several fields. We subdivided biology into a few key categories that we felt were important: Cell Biology, Genetics, Human Biology, Plant Biology, Ecology, Evolution and World Biomes. While this classification mirrors classical biology textbooks to some degree, there is no standard for classification. We've chosen this one so that teachers and students who use any form of biology book can find information on their subject area.
