5. Recap
• Recall the definition of biology in your mind
• Now recall the web of branches of biology you made
in assignment 1.

6. Brainstorming
• What is science?
• What is biology?
• Do you think they are connected?

7. • The answer is

8. •Now the question arises HOW?

9. Topic
•Relationship of
biology to other
sciences

10. Interdisciplinary sciences
•Each branch of science has relationship with all
other branches
•Like biology is related to
•Physics
•Chemistry
•Mathematics etc.

11. Did you ever notice this????

13. Biophysics:
•It deals with the study of the principles of
physics, which are applicable to biological
phenomena.
• For example there is a similarity between
the working principles of lever in physics
and limbs of animals in biology.

14. • Muscles and bones act together to form levers. A lever is a rigid rod
•

15. Biochemistry:
•It deals with the study of the chemistry of
different compounds and processes
occurring in living organisms.
• For example the study of basic metabolism
of photosynthesis and respiration involves
the knowledge of chemistry.

17. Biomathematics / Biometry:
•It deals with the study of biological processes
using mathematical techniques and tools.
• For example to analyze the data gathered after
experimental work, biologists have to apply the
rules of mathematics.

19. Biogeography:
•It deals with study of the occurrence and
distribution of different species of living
organisms in different geographical regions of
the world. It applies the knowledge of the
characteristics of particular geographical regions
to determine the characteristics of living
organisms found there.

21. Bioeconomics:
•It deals with the study of organisms from
economical point of view.
•For example the cost value and profit value
of the yield of wheat can be calculated
through bioeconomics and benefits or
losses can be determined.
