Let's talk about Biology!
What is Biology?
Biology is the study that examines living things and their essential functions.
Different Branches of Biology
Anatomy - the study of the structure of living things and their parts.
Astrobiology - the study of the living universe.
Biotechnology - the study of technology related to biology.
Botany - the scientific study of plants.
Biochemistry - the study of the chemical processes within or related to living organisms.
Biophysics - the study of physical processes and phenomena in living organisms.
Bionics - the study of mechanical systems that work like living things or as part of a living organisms.
Bioinformatics - the study of interpreting biological information through computer science.
Cell Biology - the study of cell structure and functions.
Chemical Biology - study of the use of chemistry to solve biological problems.
Computational Biology - the study of using biological information to develop algorithms to comprehend biological systems.
Conservation Biology - the study of environmental conservation and biodiversity on the earth.
Chronobiology - the study of effects of time on biological events as well as internal biological rhythms and clocks.
Developmental Biology - study of the growth and development processes of plants and animals.
Evolutionary Biology - the study of evolutionary processes and diversification and adaptation of life over time.
Ecology - the study of how organisms interact with the environment around them.
Environmental Biology - the study of evolution, habitats and adaptation of living organisms.
Genetics - the study of genes, genetic variation and heredity in living beings.
Geobiology - the study of how physical, chemical and biological processes influence each other in natural habitats.
Gerontology - the study of ageing, its physical, mental, social, psychological and cultural effects, etc.
Human Biology - the study of human species, their evolution, genetics, heredity, anatomy and other aspects.
Human Genetics - study of the human genome and transmission of genes from one generation to another.
Immunology - study of the immune system in all organisms.
Lichenology - the study of Lichens.
Marine Biology - the study of marine organisms and marine life.
Mycology - the study of fungi.
Microbiology - the study of microorganisms, i.e. minute life-forms.
Molecular Biology - the study of chemical structures and biological processes of molecules.
Neurobiology - the study of nervous systems and cell functions.
Nutrition Science - the study of food, its nutrients and their effects on health and diseases.
Pathology - the study of disease or injury.
Physiology - the study of how the human body functions.
Paleobiology - the study of applied life science biology on the earth science palaeontology.
Phycology - the study of algae.
Parasitology - the study of parasites, their hosts and their relationships.
Plant Physiology - the study of plant function and behaviour, in terms of their inner structures and functions.
Photobiology - the study of beneficial or bad impact of light on living organisms.
Radiobiology - the study of ionizing radiation and its interactions with human beings.
Structural Biology - study of the structure of biological molecules.
Soil Biology - the study of living organisms in the soil.
Systems Biology - the study of biological systems.
Taxonomy - the study of naming, classifying, arranging, and describing living organisms.
Virology - the study of viruses as well as virus diseases.
Zoology - the scientific study of animals.
