Study Notes
Human Creation and Development
- Quran references the stages of human development from a drop to clotted blood, forming bones and flesh.
- Common origin described with emphasis on water as the basis of all life forms.
- Allah's creation process demonstrates the diversity of movement among animals: some creep, some walk on two legs, and others on four.
Contributions of Muslim Scientists
- Jabir Bin Hayan (721 - 815 AD):
- Introduced experimental methods in chemistry; wrote influential texts on botany and zoology.
- Key works include “Al-Nabatat” (Plants) and “Al-Haywan” (Animals).
- Abdul Malik Asmai (740 - 828 AD):
- First Muslim scientist to detail the study of animals.
- Notable writings include “Al-Abil” (Camel), “Al-Khail” (Horse), and “Kalq al-Ansan” (Human Creation).
- Bu Ali Sina (980 - 1037 AD):
- Known as Avicenna in the West; recognized as the founder of modern medicine.
- Authored “Al-Qanun-fi al-Tib”, a significant medical text in Western medicine.
Biotechnology
- Biotechnology represents a modern field within biology, focusing on producing useful products using microorganisms.
- Academic paths in biotechnology are available to students after secondary education in biology or following a degree in botany or zoology.
Quranic Insights on Biology
- Multiple Quranic verses emphasize the origin of life, urging humans to study and understand these nuances.
- Verse indicating all living things are made from water highlights water's role as a major component (60-70%) of protoplasm.
- Another verse describes human creation from clay, symbolizing the intricate relationship between humans and the elements of earth.
Levels of Biological Organization
- Study of biology involves understanding various levels of organization, including:
- Subatomic and Atomic Level: Basic building blocks of matter comprise elements consisting of atoms.
- Stable subatomic particles include electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- Among the 92 elements in nature, 16 are termed bioelements, crucial for biological structure.
- Six primary bioelements (O, C, H, N, Ca, P) account for 99% of an organism's mass, with additional ten making up the remaining 1%.
- The arrangement of electrons determines atomic interactions and bonding.
Molecules in Biology
- Molecules are defined as the smallest parts of compounds that retain the properties of those compounds, fundamental to biological function.
