Study Notes
Overview of Biology
- Biology is the science that studies life in all its aspects, including both living and non-living components.
Branches of Biology
- Anatomy: Focuses on the basic structure of organisms and their parts.
- Histology: Investigates the microscopic structure of tissues.
- Cytology: Studies the structure and function of cells.
- Physiology: Examines the normal functions of living organisms and their biological structures, including chemical reactions within the body.
- Embryology: Covers the generation and development of embryos.
- Genetics: Explores inherited characteristics in organisms.
- Molecular Biology: Analyzes biological processes at the molecular level, including DNA and RNA.
- Biochemistry: Studies the chemical nature and sequences of biochemical reactions in living organisms.
Specialized Fields
- Zoology: The scientific study of animals, covering their behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and distribution.
- Botany: The study of plants, including their structure, function, growth, and evolution.
- Microbiology: Focuses on microorganisms, studying their biology and impact on other life forms.
- Evolution: Investigates the gradual development of highly organized species from less organized forms.
- Ecology: Examines the relationships between organisms and their physical environment, including interactions among different species.
- Entomology: The study of insects and their behavior, ecology, and taxonomy.
