составить 5 типов вопросов по тексту Biology is the science of life. The word "biology" comes from two Greek words: bio - "life" and logos - "discourse" or "study". Biology includes all the facts and principles which have been derived from a scientific study of living things. Biology tells us about our body: how it is constructed and how it functions. It gives us important information about other living things and how their lives affect mankind. Knowledge of biology will help you to keep healthy. It will be your guide in solving many of everyday living and scientific problems. People who are engaged in biology are called biologists. They study the secrets of living things: how they feed, breed and survive. A biologist's laboratory is a fascinating place. In it you may find powerful microscopes and other instruments. Biologists make great efforts to find out everything that is possible about living things by carrying out experiments. They always keep very complete and accurate records of their observations. Biologists' discoveries are of great value to all mankind. Biologists have solved many mysteries of the body. They have discovered how blood circulates, how food is digested and many other secrets of life. They are now working in different fields of biology and their studies may lead to a solution of many problems. Biologists have made a great contribution to science. They have increased our food supply; they have developed new and better varieties of plants and animals. Scientific methods of farming have given us much more food. Biologists control many diseases. They have saved millions of lives by discovering the causes of these diseases and methods of prevention and cure. Vaccines, penicillin and sulfa are products of the biological laboratory. The special study of plants, Botany, and of animals, Zoology, are the two great subdivisions of the science of biology. Plants and animals are called organisms, and each different type of animal or plant is called a species, so biology may also be defined as the science of organisms. There are millions of different plants and animals, some of which are invisible to the naked eye. They exist all over the Earth's surface, often in spite of very difficult conditions - from the icy Arctic and Antarctic to the dry, baking deserts near the Equator. They also live in the seas and oceans, from the shallow waters of warm tropical seas to the gloomy ocean depths. Most people think that plants are not alive in the same sense that animals are, or that there is some fundamental difference between plant and animal life. But this is not so. Plants and animals have much in common. Their more important points of resemblance are: 1) The living substance of plants and animals is organized into protoplasm. Protoplasm is the basic material of all living systems and its general properties are fundamentally the same in each system both in plants and animals. 2) Both plants and animals consist of microscopic structural units called cells. 3) Certain vital processes take place in plant bodies in the same manner as in animal bodies. These processes are respiration, sensitivity, digestion, growth and reproduction. 4) Both animals and plants can not live without certain necessary conditions. All living things need water, oxygen, food, light and proper temperature. Both plants and animals are of different shapes, sizes and colours. In fact, the differences are not so many as the likenesses although they are more apparent. Plants get all the energy they need to live from sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. Animals get the energy by eating plants, animals or other organisms. Most animals can move about, and they have senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, which plants lack.
