SCI GEN BIO L1

• Biology


  Is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms
• Modern Biology


  Is a vast and eclectic field composed of many specialized disciplines that study the structure, function, growth, distribution, evolution, or other features of living organisms
• Natural Science


  Is a branch of science concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation.
• Life and Physical


  Two main branches of Natural Science
• Physical science


  Is subdivided into branches, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and Earth science.
• fields


  specialized branches
• Formal science


  It is used by natural science. It involves mathematics and logic, converting information about nature into measurements.
• Modern Natural Science


  This science succeeded more classical approaches to natural philosophy, usually traced to ancient Greece.
• Galileo, Descartes, Bacon, and Newton

  They (4) debated the benefits of using approaches which were more mathematical and more experimental in a methodical way.
• natural history


  suggests observational descriptions aimed at popular audiences
• Basic and Applied


  Two types of science
• Basic science


  also known as pure science
• Basic science


  seeks to expand knowledge regardless of the short-term application of that knowledge
• Basic science


  It is not focused on developing a product or a service of immediate public or commercial value.
• Basic science


  Its goal is knowledge for knowledge's sake, though this does not mean that, in the end, it may not result in a practical application.
• Applied science


  also known as technology
• Applied science


  aims to use science to solve real-world problems.
• Applied science


  In this science, the problem is usually defined for the researcher.
• Anatomy


  Is the branch of biology that deals with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts
• Biochemistry


  Is the branch in biology concerned with the chemical and physiochemical processes that occur within living organism.
• Biophysics


  Is the science of the application of the laws of physics to biological phenomena
• Biotechnology


  Is the explanation of biological processes such as genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.
• Botany


  Is the scientific study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, and ecology.
• Cell Biology


  Is the study of cell structure and function, and revolves around the concept that the cell is the fundamental unit of life.
• Ecology


  Is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• Evolution


  Is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth (Darwinism)
• Genetics


  Is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms
• Immunology


  Is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with immunity.
• Marine biology


  Is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine bodies of water
• Microbiology


  Is the study of microscopic organisms in the ocean or other marine bodies of water.
• Parasitology


  Is the branch of biology or medicine concerned with the study of parasitic organisms.
• Photobiology


  Is the scientific study of the interactions of light and living organisms.
• Physiology


  Is the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts
• Plant Physiology


  Is a sub-discipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants.
• Radiobiology


  Is a branch of biology that involves the study of the action of ionizing radiation on living things.
• Structural Biology


  Is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics dealing with the molecular structure of biological macro-molecules.
• Theoretical biology


  also known as Mathematical Biology
• Theoretical biology


  Is an interdisciplinary scientific research field with a range of applications in biology, biotechnology, and medicine.
• Virology


  Is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses
• Zoology


  Is the scientific study of the behavior, structure, classification, and distribution of animals.
