Introduction to Biology

Introduction To Biology;

What is Biology:

The term 'Biology' was introduced in early 1800. French naturalist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck was of the view that increasing numbers of all the disciplines which are involved with the study of living organisms should be unified under Biology.
The word Biology is a fusion of two Greek words; Bios, which means life and Logos means to study or discuss, so Biology is the study of life or it can also be said as Science Of Life. 
Biology underlies all the activities of life such as cellular basis, energy metabolism, the genetic basis for inheritance, evolutionary relationship of organisms and diversity of life on Earth etc. 
Traditional Biology has been studied under three major groups i-e 

• Botany, study of plants
• Zoology, study of animals
• Microbiology, study of microorganisms 

 Modern Biology has been divided into many different branches as Biology is a vast field of study.
