What is Biology?

Biology
Biology is the science that studies the origin, evolution and characteristics of living
beings, as well as their vital processes, their behavior and their interaction with
each other and with the environment.

As such, biology is responsible for describing and explaining the behavior and
characteristics that differentiate living beings, either as individuals, well considered
as a whole, as a species.

Importance of biology
One of the fundamental objectives of
biology is to establish the laws that
govern the life of organisms. That is, it
encompasses the study of the origin of
life and its evolution throughout our
existence.
Hence, it is necessary to carry out
research and studies on living beings
constantly. This has allowed us to better
understand how complex microorganisms
are and how our body works.
Likewise, scientific research in biology
has made it possible for various
specialists to create drugs and vaccines
that fight infections or prevent diseases to improve our quality of life, including that
of animals and plants.
Therefore, biology is also a science that brings great knowledge to other branches
of scientific study.

Biology areas
Biology is vast sciences from which multiple branches emerge that delve into the
most diverse aspects related to living organisms, such as:

 Molecular biology
As molecular biology, the part of biology that studies the processes of living beings
from a molecular point of view is known. Specifically, it focuses on the study of two
macromolecules: nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, and proteins.

 Cell biology
As cell biology, also known as cell biochemistry and previously called cytology, it is
the part of biology that studies the biological phenomena that take place in cells, as
well as their properties, structure, functions, organelles, life cycle and the way in
which they interact with their environment. It is a discipline related to molecular
biology.

 Marine biology
Marine biology is the branch of biology that is responsible for studying the
organisms that inhabit marine ecosystems, as well as the conservation of marine
life and its environment in a physical and chemical sense.

 What is the importance of learning English for this


area?
Biology, being a large area, we need to investigate in order to learn more about it,
so when we do we will find very important information but in some cases in English
then, as we already know, our learning will be much easier.
