Branches of Biology

Botany: study of plants and their interactions with the environment
Zoology: study of animals and their interactions with the environment
Microbiology: study of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Ecology: study of the relationships 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 biological molecules such as DNA and proteins
Cell Biology: study of the structure, function, and behavior of cells
Genetics: study of heredity and variation in organisms
Evolutionary Biology: study of the processes that have shaped the diversity of life on Earth

Cell Theory: all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life
Homeostasis: the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment
Metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism
Photosynthesis: the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy
Respiration: the process by which cells generate energy from glucose

Carbohydrates: provide energy and structural support for organisms
Proteins: perform a wide range of functions, including structural, enzymatic, and hormonal roles
Lipids: provide energy and structural support for organisms, and are also involved in cell signaling
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA, which contain the genetic information necessary for life

Mitosis: the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Meiosis: the process of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
Photosynthesis: the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy
Fermentation: the process by which cells generate energy in the absence of oxygen

Molecules: the basic building blocks of life
Organelles: specialized structures within cells that perform specific functions
Cells: the basic units of life
Tissues: groups of similar cells that perform specific functions
Organs: structures composed of multiple tissues that perform specific functions
Organ Systems: groups of organs that work together to perform specific functions
Organisms: individual living things
Ecosystems: communities of organisms and their environment
Biosphere: the global sum of all ecosystems
