Biology is hugely significant.
Biology is really a huge range of sciences that study life, in all its forms, and in a multitude of different ways. All questions about life are questions about biology.
How does DNA replicate? Why do some people get depressed? Why do my feet smell if I don't take off my socks for a week? How do I have sex? Why do I have sex? Why is my nose runny? Why do giraffes have long necks?
None of these questions can really be answered without biology. Although not as fundamental as physics or chemistry, biology is crucial to understanding the world of life around us.

1. Your doctor had to take biology during undergraduate school before going to med school. Lots of fields require understanding of life before going further in the field. When you buy medicine, when you go to the hospital etc.
Global warming and its impact on farming, coastlines, the growing ozone hole and its impact on life.
2. Biology, like any other sciences, not only teaches you processes/facts but the methods of biology can be applied to life. The way you analyze things like how to confront a problem given this much data and then seeing if there are other possibilities and always seeing if further evidence supports your decision. etc. Why do people believe in ghosts? because they hear it from other people? Because they read it somewhere? Biology/science teaches you to get real sources.

There is no significance in the term itself. What we put under the term "biology" exists with our without our recognition of it.
Perhaps the only significance is that as we behave in ways to destroy it, it will no longer be able to provide sustenance to us and may some day begin to poison us.
Now that is significant.

Biology is understanding life at all levels, from molecules and cells, to entire ecosystems and the biosphere. It is the core subject of reliance of leading scientists. Along with other sciences such as chemistry, psicology, medicine and genetics, it attempts to find and explain the many proceses that comprise life.
How viruses work, why do we get sick, The use of PCR in crime scene investigation, the use IV solutions in hospitals, etc.

I hated taking biology class...supposedly it's the "study of life"....I haven't found any relevance or significance in the real world.
