1) Biology is the subject that studies life in all of its forms. 2) The most basic unit of life is the Cell.
3) Cellular Biology studies the structure and functions of many different things inside a cell.
4) Molecular Biology studies how the different systems work with each other on a molecular basis.
5) Structural Biology looks at the shape of biological molecules like amino acids , nucleic acids and enzymes .
6) Biochemistry looks at how these biological molecules interact with each other on a chemical level.
7) Biophysics and quantum Biology explain how things work on a physical level.
8) Genetics is the study of how DNA is expressed to create all of the different forms of life and how this
information is passed on from one generation to the next.
9) Population Genetics looks at the genetic differences within species.
10) Bioinformatics uses computer programming to analyze and interpret biological data.
11) Biomathematics uses tools to build models of biological processes.
12) An interesting area in Developmental Biology is the growth and differentiation of stem cells.
13) Which branch of Biology looks at the structure and organization at the scale of entire organisms?

Anatomy
14) Biomechanics looks at how parts of the body are designed for movement .
15) While Anatomy studies what organisms are made of, physiology studies how these parts work and interact
with each other.
16) The branch of Biology that studies our immune system is called immunology .
17) Biomedical Engineering can help to create artificial organs.
18) Biotechnology modifies the genetic code of organisms.
19) Pharmacology helps preparing and dispensing drugs.
20) Pathology is the study of causes and effects of diseases.
21) Epidemiology looks at the patterns of disease, how it is transmitted and the effects on the health of a
population.
22) Ecology looks at how whole groups of animals and plants interact with each other in an environment.
23) Which brand of Biology studies animals? zoology Which one studies plants? botany
24) Why is it helpful to study Biology? When us, students, study biology, we become way more conscious
about environmental issues, we understand our surroundings and learn what is our role in nature.
