Now, the study of biology is responsible for some of the most profound insights that humans have about the world around them.
2
So, take a look at these four panoramas.
3
In the upper left, you see some bacteria this happened to be, coli, you obviously see a butterfly, a flower, a dolphin.

7
If you see that at the outer space, just looks these different forms and structures.
8
You have no idea that they were all related to one another.
9
So one of the most profound things that biology told us is
10
that all life on Earth is exceptionally related to one another.

13
So one of the most profound things that biology told us is
14
that all life on Earth is exceptionally related to one another.
15
So, for example, all of these life forms rely on DNA and RNA for storing, transmitting and using their genetic and inherited information.
16
They are all based on cells.
17
Cells are the fundamental building blocks of all life.
18
All of these organisms consist of cells, and the cells essentially have the same chemicals inside of them.

22
All of these organisms consist of cells, and the cells essentially have the same chemicals inside of them.
23
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, and the whole bunch of other stuff in much smaller amount.
24
All these organisms conducted metabolism, in other words, chemical reactions that use and convert energy from one form to another.
25
And the basic chemistry is all very similar to one another.
26
The type of molecule is used very similarly to one another.

Thank you.
