Biology is an interesting subject that has been intriguing scientific minds for several centuries.Despite exponential developments in technology over the past few centuries, the origin of life on earth is still one of the biggest mysteries yet to be unraveled.
The basis of our very origin and existence on earth lies within the depths of the biological sciences. Biology has an endless array of species( at least as of now because there are an estimated 8.7 million species on earth out of which only 1.9 million species have been discovered, so there is a long way to go!).
Every creation which is a part of nature is so adorable and unique in its own way.
Biology exists every second - when we inhale and exhale each time, respiration is taking place within our bodies, each cell receives oxygenated blood and releases carbon dioxide and other excretory wastes.
Let aside other species, we haven't yet understood our own bodies completely!!How is it that our hearts work so tirelessly throughout our life span, how is it that we are able to interpret even minute emotions and gestures without even understanding the mechanism behind it!.How is it that each one of us is able to perceive things differently?What exactly is consciousness?..The list of questions seeking their answers is endless!
Biology helps us to sort things out and find answers to such questions.
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.
By understanding how nature really works and what allows it to flourish, we’re able to pinpoint what ways we might cause harm to it and look for more environmentally friendly methods of doing things.
Ecology, for example, studies the relationship between animals, plants, and the environment, helping us understand how the things humans and other animals do can hurt or help Mother Nature.
Immunology studies our immune system and how it reacts to all sorts of different threats. Pathology diagnoses diseases and what causes them, as well as what they do to the body. Virology does the same for the many different viruses that may seek to do us harm.
The information biology has taught us is present in everything we know. Look in the mirror. Your ability to identify the parts of your face can be credited to anatomy. What you eat for lunch was influenced by biology ,the medication or vitamins you take daily, your exercise routine – it all comes back to that fundamental science of biology.
Biology is part and parcel of any life form on earth ( or anywhere else for that matter).There is so much to seek and find!! So , pull up your sleeves and go for it!
Hope that helps.Good luck!
