2. • What is Biology – Biology is the
study of living organisms, divided
into many specialized fields that
cover their morphology,
physiology, anatomy, behavior,
origin, and distribution.

4. • Botany is the scientific study of
plants.
• "Plants," to most people, means a
wide range of living organisms from
the smallest bacteria to the largest
living things - the giant sequoia trees.
By this definition plants include: algae,
fungi, lichens, mosses, ferns, conifers
and flowering plants.

5. • Ecology is the study of
organisms and how they
interact with the
environment around them.
An ecologist studies the
relationship between living
things and their habitats. ...
To find the answers to these
questions, ecologists must
study and observe all forms
of life and their ecosystems
throughout our world.

6. • Evolution is a process that
results in changes in the
genetic content of a
population over time. There
are two general classes of
evolutionary change:
microevolution and
macroevolution.
Microevolutionary processes
are changes in allele
frequencies in a population
over time.

8. • Zoology (also known as
animal science) is the
branch of biology devoted
to the study of animal life. It
covers areas ranging from
the structure of organisms to
the subcellular unit of life.
Some zoologists are
interested in the biology of
particular groups of animals.
... Zoology is both
descriptive and analytical.

9. • Molecular Biology is the field of
biology that studies the composition,
structure and interactions of cellular
molecules – such as nucleic acids and
proteins – that carry out the biological
processes essential for the cell's
functions and maintenance.

10. • Physiology is the science of life. It
is the branch of biology that aims
to understand the mechanisms of
living things, from the basis of
cell function at the ionic and
molecular level to the integrated
behaviour of the whole body and
the influence of the external
environment. ... Physiology is an
experimental science.
