Lewenswetenskap (Life Sciences)

Definition

Lewenswetenskap is the Afrikaans term for life sciences or biological sciences.
It encompasses the study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.

Branches of Lewenswetenskap

Botany: study of plants, including their structure, growth, evolution, classification, and distribution.
Zoology: study of animals, including their structure, behavior, evolution, classification, and distribution.
Microbiology: study of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
Biochemistry: study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms.
Ecology: study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment.

Subfields of Lewenswetenskap

Genetics: study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation.
Biotechnology: application of biological principles to develop new products, technologies, and processes.
Evolutionary biology: study of the processes that have shaped the diversity of life on Earth.
Conservation biology: study of the preservation and protection of biodiversity.

Applications of Lewenswetenskap

Medicine: understanding of human health and disease.
Agriculture: improvement of crop yields and disease resistance.
Environmental management: conservation and management of natural resources.
Biotechnology industry: development of new products and technologies.
