INTRODUCTION OF BIOLOGY

What is biology?
![Page 3: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Biology is the branch of science which deals withthe study of living organisms.
![Page 4: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The term biology is derived from two Greekwords;“Bios” means life“logos” means knowledge.Thus biology is science oflife.

It is an organized study of living things and of theories that men have devised to describe and explain the world of life

What is the significance of biology?
![Page 7: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Biology helps us to understand ourlives and the world we live in, ithas made enormous impact on human welfare
![Page 8: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An ever increasing human population require more and more food. Food productioncan be increased by careful study of plants and soil and improved techniques in animal

Biology has enabled man to realize the importance ofbalanced diet.

Biological studies have also helped to control pest
![Page 11: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It is through advancement in biology that man has able to control diseases with the consequence that mortality rate has decreased and individuals live longer and lead healthy life
![Page 12: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In the field of health the discovery of antibiotics and vaccines isnote worthy. These remedies have been revolutionary in controlling epidemic diseases
![Page 13: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Although biology is a distinct branch of science, its method is similar to that of its other branches.
Biological Methods
![Page 14: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Identification of problem
It is scientific guess on the basis of observation. it needs experimental verification
![Page 15: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Experimentation
The proposed hypothesis is examined by experiments designedespecially for this purpose
![Page 16: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If hypothesis is verified by experiments it given a status of theory
![Page 17: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Like other subjects of science, Biology also has got definite way of investigation for the exploration and discovery of new facts. The scientific way of study and exploration of facts in biology is called Biological Method.
![Page 18: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The first logical statement given by scientist about workunder study is the hypothesis. It is fairly reliable and simplified version of facts
Hypothesis
![Page 19: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hypothesis is then tested experimentally, results are recorded and certainadditions or deductions are made accordingly
![Page 20: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
After performing a number of experiments, the results are summarized andIf majority of results and observations are in favour, a “theory” is established
![Page 21: Biology introduction](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032716/55b561b3bb61eb314c8b4710/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If a theory is tested and always found correct, it is accepted world over asa rule or Law

Islamic View about the Origin of Life
The Holy Quran throws adequate light o the origin of life. The most important in the teaching of Quran is that Allah is ultimate creator of everything.

ABIOGENESISMan had believed since ancient times that living organism arise from, clayearth and other non-living matter and not from pre-existing parents oftheir own kind. This old belief that living beings can spontaneously develop from the non-living is termed as abiogenesis.

BIOGENESISAccording to this theory living organism can arise frompre-existing living organisms

REDI’S EXPERIMENTSSome dead snakes were placed in a box. It was noticed that fliesgathered round the dead snakes. After three days maggots appearedin their bodies and they devoured their flesh, leaving behind only bones. After eighteen days maggots became inactive, assumed an egglike shape and transformed into pupae. Some of these pupae were then transferred to separate glass containers covered with sheet ofpaper

OBSERVATIONAfter eight days, it was observed that a fly emerged from every pupae and all suchflies were similar to those which were seen initially to settle on the body of deadsnakes.

CONLUSIONFrom this it was concluded that the flies had laid eggs on dead snakes. Those eggs gave rise to maggotswhich formed pupae and ultimatelyflies emerged from them.

EXPERIMENT NO. 2Redi took eight bottles. He put dead snakes and fishes in them. Of these eight bottles,four were kept open and four covered.Observation:After a few days, maggots appeared in the first four bottles only.
