Give points to advocate that Biology is linked with physics, chemistry, mathematics, geography and economics? 

Difficulty: Hard

Relationship of biology to other sciences:

  1. Biophysics:

It deals with the study of the principles of physics, which apply to biological phenomena. For example, there is a similarity between the working principles of the lever in physics and the limbs of animals in biology,

  1. Biochemistry:

It deals with the study of the chemistry of different compounds and processes occurring in living organisms. For example, the study of the basic metabolism of photosynthesis and respiration involves the knowledge of chemistry.

 

  1. Biomathematics:

It deals with the study of biological processes using mathematical techniques and tools. It has both practical and theoretical applications in biological research. For example, to analyze the data gathered after experimental work, biologists have to apply the rules of mathematics.

  1. Biogeography:

It studies the occurrence and distribution of different species of living organisms in different geographical regions of the world. It applies the knowledge of the characteristics of particular geographical regions to determine the characteristics of living organisms found there.

  1. Bioeconomic:

It studies the organisms from an economical point of view. It includes the study of the cost-effectiveness and viability of biological projects. For example, the cost value and profit value of the yield of wheat can be calculated through bioeconomics, and benefits or losses can be determined.
