1.) What is Biology? Biology is the science of life. Biologists study the structure‚ function‚ growth‚ origin‚ evolution and distribution of living organisms. There are generally considered to be at least nine “umbrella” fields of biology‚ each of which consists of multiple subfields. 2.) What are the branches of Biology? Describe each. Biochemistry: the study of the material substances that make up living things Botany: the study of plants‚ including agriculture Cellular biology: the study of the

A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive

environment. It is a movement that restores the environment that humans have damaged. Scientists have addressed the idea‚ in "A life of its own" by Michael Specter‚ of using synthetic biology to mend environmental issues. Synthetic biology combines the "elements of engineering‚ chemistry‚ computer science‚ and molecular biology…to assemble the biological tools necessary to redesign the living world" (Specter 364). There are both positive and negative impacts of a synthetic world on the environment movement

Theories of Biology University of Phoenix – Axia There are seven major theories of Biology that attempt to organize and make sense of the multitude of ideas surrounding the major theories of Biology. The theories include evolution of natural selection‚ inheritance‚ cells‚ biological classification‚ bioenergetics‚ homeostasis‚ and ecosystems. The evolution of natural selection is the theory the theory that attempts to explain how and why species are able to adapt to their environments
