BIOLOGY AND OTHER SCIENCES
Biology is a multi dimensional science. It is linked with the knowledge of chemistry, physics, mathematics, sociology, statistics etc. and these branches which are related to biology are biochemistry, biophysics, biometry, etc. Some of them are discussed below.
1. Biochemistry: A complete branch of chemistry which requires firm knowledge of biology and chemistry to explain the synthesis of bio-molecules, their requirement and the effect caused by the deficiency and efficiency of different molecules on the organisms and their metabolism.
2. Biophysics: Branch of physics where we apply laws and techniques of physics to explain the metabolism of living organism, to find out the age of fossils etc. One of the sub-branch of biophysics is Radio-physics, where radioactive isotopes are used to trace the translocation of different material "in vivo", that is, within the living organism. Radio labeling and carbon dating also show some uses of radio active isotopes in determining the age of fossils. Use of sound waves as ultrasound and laser technology show some relationship of physics with biology.
3. Biometry: It is branch of mathematics where data and measurements related to living organisms are dealt with. Without knowledge of mathematics and statistics no biological research and data analysis is possible. All biologists conclude their results by using knowledge of statistics and mathematics.
4. Behaviourial biology: Many of the facts of biology are reflected in the study of behaviour it is an intersection of biochemistry, genetics, physiology, evolutionary theory and ecology.
5. Biosociology: The study of behaviour, especially social behaviour, also associates biology to the social sciences and humanities. Through the study of life in general, we will learn more about ourselves.
Finally, we can say that biology is related with each branch of science.
