Branches of Biology
Biology, the scientific study of life, includes
several relevant branches. Below is a list of major
branches of biology with a brief description for
each.

• Zoology deals with animals and
animals life, including the study of
the structure, physiology,
development, and classification of
animals.

• Cytology or Cell biology is the
study of cells.

• Ecology is the science which studies the
releationship of living things between
each other and their environment.
• Also ecology is concerned with
pollution. Such as air and water
pollution

• Genetic is a science that deals with
heredity, especially the mechanisms of
hereditary transmission and the
variation of inherited characteristics
among similar or related organisms.
or
Genetics is the study of how features is
passed to offspring from their parents.

• Anatomy is the study of the inner
organs of the body (kidney, hert,
liver etc.)

• Microbiology deals with
microorganisms and their effects
on other living organisms..
• For ex. Bacteria.

• Taxonomy is the study of the
classification of living organisms.
• Classification is made groups of
organisms.

• Parasitology is the study of parasites and parasitism.
• Parasites are harmful organisms for living things.

of the function of living organisms
and their parts..

macromolecules essential to life, such as
nucleic acids and proteins.
