Functions - how each part operate and what is their ● reproduce (but in different ways)

Relationships - the interaction between the different Other branches of biology

Environment - the interaction between the organisms and Taxonomy - study of naming and classifying organisms
their surroundings (help pinpoint and is easier to identify organisms)

Population - all the organisms of the same type Physiology - functions of the parts and structures
Community - the population of organisms interact with Biochemistry - biochemical compositions and processes
populations of different organisms Genetics - heredity and variation
Ecosystem - interaction between all the different Evolution - origin and differentiation
communities Ecology - relationships of organisms
Modern
Biology involves the different factors: Bioinformatics - biological data
Biotic - living things/factors Genomics - entire genetic material
Abiotic - non-living things/factors (sun, soil, water, etc.) Molecular biology - molecules that make up the cells
Note: anything that has ‘A’ means ‘non’ Pharmacogenomics how genes affect the person’s
response to drug
Major Branches of Biology Proteomics - different proteins
1) Botany - study of plants Synthetic biology - artificial biological systems
● Majority are autotrophs (can produce their Systems biology - computational and mathematical
own food) modeling of biological systems
● Can do photosynthesis
● Have chloroplasts Importance of Biology
● Have cell walls ● Knowing and understanding the self and other
2) Zoology - study of animals organisms
● Majority are consumers ● Plants of microorganisms
● Have motility (locomotion: ability to
transfer from one place to another) Timeline of Biology
3) Microbiology - study of microorganisms 4th Century (Aristotle - philosopher)
● Majority are unicellular ● Theory of spontaneous generation
● Microscopic (not visible by the naked ● Abiogenesis - life originates from nonliving
eye) matter
Similarities of the 3 branches 1668 (Francesco Redi - Italian Physicist)
Botany & Zoology: multicellular ● Debunked the theory of spontaneous generation
Zoology & Microbiology: motile
