What is Biology?

Biology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and with the environment.

What are the branches of Biology?

The branches of Biology include Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Ecology.

What is the scientific method?

The scientific method is a systematic approach to problem-solving that involves making observations, forming hypotheses, testing those hypotheses, and drawing conclusions based on the results.

What is evolution?

Evolution is the process by which different species of organisms develop and change over time in response to changes in their environment.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

What is cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP (energy) through a series of biochemical reactions.

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the development and function of all living organisms, while RNA is a molecule that helps carry out those instructions.

What is the structure of a virus?

A virus is a small, infectious agent that consists of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid.

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells are more complex and typically have a nucleus and other organelles.

What is the function of the immune system?

The immune system protects the body against pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and other harmful agents) by recognizing and attacking these agents.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

What is a food chain?

A food chain is a sequence of organisms that shows the transfer of energy from one organism to another as they eat each other.

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs when gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, resulting in warming temperatures on Earth.

What is genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating the genetic material of an organism to produce a desired trait or characteristic.

What is a mutation?

A mutation is a change in the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of an organism that may result in a new trait or characteristic.
