Study Notes
Biology and its Branches
- Biology is the science of life, derived from two Greek words: "bios" (life) and "logos" (study)
- It explores the structures, functions, and interactions of living organisms
- Biology helps understand issues related to health, food, and the environment
- It encompasses a journey of discovery from bacteria to vast ecosystems
Major Fields of Biology
- Biology is a vast field, covering the incredible diversity of life on Earth
- Scientists divide biology into three main fields: Zoology, Botany, and Microbiology
Zoology
- The study of animals, including structure, function, behavior, and diversity
Botany
- The study of plants, including structure, growth, reproduction, and interactions with the environment
Microbiology
- The study of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi)
- Also known as microbiological biology
- Includes the study of structures, functions, habitats, and reproduction of microorganisms
- Considers their impact on health and the environment
