Biology:
Biology is a branch of science that deals with
the study of living organisms.
.Composition: The word BIOLOGY has been
derived from two words:
1.BIOS; Meanings life
2.LOGOS;I Meaning thought or reasoning
DIVISIONS:
1.Zoology: The division that deals
with the study of animals.
2.Botany: The division that deals
with the study of plants is called Botany.
3.MICROBIOLOGY: The division that
deals with the study of microorganisms is
known as microbiology.
Molecular Biology:
, The branch that deals with the study of
molecules of life is called Microbiology. Eg;
Glucose,water,starch etc.
Branches:
MORPHOLOGY: The branch that deals with the
study of forms and structures of living
organisms is known as morphology.
Anatomy: The branch that deals with the study
of internal structures of living organisms is
known as Anatomy.
Cell Biology: The branch of biology that deals
with functions and structures of cells and cell
organelles is known as Cell Biology. This branch
also deals with the study of cell reproduction.
Genetics: It is the branch that deals with the
study of genes and their role in inheritance.
[Inheritence; means the transmission of
characters from one generation to another.]
, Phisiology: The branch that deals with the study
of functions of different parts of living
organisms.
Palaentology: This branch deals with the study
of fossils; which are remains of extinct
organisms.
Taxonomy: The branch that deals with the
study of naming and classification of living
organisms into groups and subgroups is called
taxonomy.
Environmental Biology: This branch deals with
the study of living organisms and their
interactions with environment.
Sociobiology: This branch deals with the study
of social behavior of living organisms that
makes societies.
Entomology: The study of insects is called
entomology.
Biotecnology: This branch deals with the study
of practical applications of living organisms for
the welfare of mankind.
