This document provides an overview of several branches of biological science including biology, botany, zoology, bacteriology, ornithology, herpetology, paleontology, and psychology. For each branch, it defines the key terms, topics of study, and provides an example of a famous scientist in that field, including details about their life and contributions to science. The overall document serves as a high-level introduction to the main categories of biological science.

2. What is Biological
Science?
There are many branches of science
including, physical science, medical
science, social science, and biological
science. Biological science is the study of
living organisms. There are many fields of
biological science that study living
organisms like…

3. Biology
 Biology is the study of life and living organisms .
 Biology got it’s name from the Greek word βίος,, (βίος means
life) and λογία,.(λογία, means study of)
 There are different types of biology…
 Biochemistry examines the chemistry of life.
 Molecular biology studies the interactions among biological
molecules.
 Cellular biology examines cells.
 Physiology examines physical and chemical functions of
tissues, organs, and organ systems of an organism.
 Evolutionary biology examines the process that produced the
diversity of life.
 Ecology examines how organisms interact in the
environment.
 Someone who studies biology is called a biologist.

 Botany is the study of plants.
 Botany got it’s name from the Greek word
βοτάνη (βοτάνη means pasture, grass, or
fodder) and the word βόσκειν(βόσκειν means to
feed or graze).
 Botany covers scientific disciplines like structure,
growth, reproduction, metabolism, development,
diseases, chemical properties, and evolutionary
relationships among taxonomic groups.
 Someone who studies Botany is called a
Botanist.

6. Ibn Al-Baitar
Ibn Al-Baiter is a famous
scientist, botanist,
pharmacist, and
physician. He was born in

 Zoology is the study of the animal kingdom.
 Zoology got it’s name from the ancient Greek word
ζῷον (ζῷον means animal) and the word λόγος
(λόγος means knowledge.

embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and
distribution.
 There are many types of zoology including…

animals.
 Ethology- is the study of animal behavior.

develop several key concepts in bird evolution,
behavior, and ecology such as the definition of
species, the process of specification, instinct,
learning, ecological niches, guilds, island
biogeography phylogeography and conservation.
 Someone who studies ornithology is called an
ornithologist.
