Biology Branches Quiz

Botany: study of plants, including their structure, growth, evolution, and classification
Zoology: study of animals, including their structure, behavior, evolution, and classification
Microbiology: study of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Ecology: study of the interactions between organisms and their environment
Biochemistry: study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms
Molecular Biology: study of the structure and function of biomolecules, such as DNA and proteins
Cell Biology: study of the structure and function of cells
Genetics: study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation
Evolutionary Biology: study of the processes that have shaped the diversity of life on Earth

Carbohydrates: sugars, starches, and fibers that provide energy and structure
Proteins: complex molecules that perform a wide range of functions, including enzymatic, structural, and transport roles
Lipids: fats, oils, and waxes that provide energy and structure
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA, which contain genetic information
ATP: adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell

Cell Membrane: semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell
Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane
Nucleus: membrane-bound organelle that contains genetic material
Mitochondria: organelles responsible for generating energy through cellular respiration
Endoplasmic Reticulum: network of membranous tubules and cisternae involved in protein synthesis and transport
Ribosomes: site of protein synthesis

Photosynthesis: process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy
Cellular Respiration: process by which cells generate energy from glucose
Metabolism: set of chemical reactions that occur within cells to maintain life
Homeostasis: ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment
Transport: movement of molecules and ions across cell membranes

Natural Selection: process by which individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce
Speciation: process by which a new species emerges from an existing one
Adaptation: trait that enhances an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment
Fossil Record: chronological record of the history of life on Earth
Phylogeny: study of the relationships between different species
