Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field. All organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Biology encompasses fields such as botany, zoology, microbiology, genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology.

Logistic Population Growth
Model population growth with a carrying capacity. Adjust growth rate and carrying capacity to see the characteristic S-curve.
Open tool →Michaelis-Menten Kinetics
Plot enzyme reaction rate against substrate concentration. Visualise Vmax, Km, and how enzyme kinetics saturate at high substrate levels.
Open tool →Survivorship Curves
Compare Type I, II, and III survivorship curves on a logarithmic scale. See how different survival strategies result in characteristic curve shapes.
Open tool →Oxygen Dissociation Curve
Plot the sigmoidal haemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve. See the Bohr shift as pH falls, and compare haemoglobin with myoglobin.
Open tool →Photosynthesis Rate
Plot net photosynthesis against light intensity. Identify the compensation point, light saturation, and the effect of CO₂ as a limiting factor.
Open tool →Enzyme Activity
Visualise enzyme activity as a bell-shaped curve against temperature and pH. Adjust the optimum and curve width to explore denaturation effects.
