INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY:
● Greek word meaning ‘’study of life.’’
● The characteristics of living things are: Movement, Respiration,
Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, and Nutrition.
● MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: Study the structure of organisms, their
cells, and organelles at the molecular level (deepest detail); DNA,
Protein, lipids component of cell membranes.
● ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY: Tells how humans affect the
environment and how it affects us; pollution, global warming
● ECOLOGY (study of environment): Natural behaviour and
interaction of living things with the environment and each other; food
chain.
● MICROBIOLOGY: Study of microorganisms; Bacteria, Fungi,
Protists.
● PALEONTOLOGY: The study of ancient life by using fossil fuels.
● HISTOLOGY: The study of tissues.
● MORPHOLOGY: Overall structure (shape) of an organism (internal +
external)
● PHYSIOLOGY: Study of processes inside the body; blood
circulation, breathing.
● ANATOMY: Internal structure.
● ZOOGEOGRAPHY: Study of the distribution of animals in nature.
● EVOLUTION: Study of gradual change in organisms over
generations.
● EMBYROLOGY: Study of the development of organisms
● GENETICS: Inheritance
● BIOTECHNOLOGY: It deals with the use of living organisms,
systems, or processes in the manufacturing and service industry, such
as the manufacturing of vaccines.
