I Know I Am a Living System Because….
I'm organized as a living being . I am composed of living cells which continually replicate themselves. I am constantly transforming as a person. I am different from who I was one year ago, and am vastly different from who I was 20 years ago. I get sick and get better. I am continually self producing and am responding to my environment. I am a living being because I think I am.
Biophysics and Me
Biophysics is a diverse field crossing over many different disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, chemistry and physiology. I relate mostly to Biophysics as it explains how living organisms function. For example, it explains the function of cells and tissues, as well as the behavior of DNA, hormones, enzymes and antibodies. It also explains the biological properties of cell membranes. I studied these molecular structures in anatomy and physiology. I think this stuff is fascinating. Biophysics has allowed scientists to directly observe the biological behavior and physical properties of DNA. I think it's amazing that the behavior of a single molecule can influence the biological functioning of an organism.
