BIOLOGY

The study of biology has helped humans to understand the similarities between all forms of life. For example, the genetic code that helps to construct all living organisms is very similar in all life forms. Biology is important to everyday life because it allows humans to better understand their bodies, their resources and potential threats in the environment The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA for all plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. By studying the DNA of all these different life forms, biologists have determined that all living creatures are related to each other.
Biology has also helped doctors learn how to keep people healthy and fight off disease. Biologists have learned that things called pathogens, which are themselves other living entities, cause diseases. By understanding how these dangerous organisms work, scientists can fight them off. Because of biology, many people have lived long lives as they have been able to avoid diseases.
Biology also studies the origin of diseases and plagues, such as infections, pathologies of animals and damage to plants and trees. Biology encompasses the study of the functions of living beings, enhancement of useful species, factors that cause illnesses, discovery and production of medicines and sustainable use of natural resources. Through biotechnology, biologists find efficient ways to produce food and other supplies for people. They investigate the processes involved in producing various nutritional substances.
Humans aren’t the only living things biology is concerned with. It also tells us all about plants and animals – how they live, what they’re made up of, and how they interact with mankind and each other. This enables us to make the most of our planet’s natural resources while trying to minimize the impact we have on the environment.
