  • Agriculture is the art and science of raising cattle and crops using only earth's natural resources.
  • Anatomy is the study of internal structures of living things.
  • Astrobiology is an area of biology that studies how space affects organisms and looks for extraterrestrial life.
  • Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions inside the body of living things.
  • Bioclimatology is a field of study that examines how organisms are affected by climate, such as how plants, animals, and people develop and are distributed throughout the world.
  • Bioengineering is a comprehensive engineering field that deals with molecular and biomolecular processes, sustainable product design, and biological system analysis.
  • Biogeography is a branch of biology that aims to explain how extant and extinct plant and animal species' geographic distributions have changed over time.
  • The term "biology" was coined by Jean Baptiste-Lamarck.
  • The father of biology is Aristotle.
  • Bioinformatics is the application of information technology in the biological sciences, particularly the technology for gathering, storing, and retrieving genomic data.
