Title: Identifying Biology - Part 1
Description: First of all, before we talk about something or any object, we need identify it correctly. Therefore, before learning Biology, one must first identify what Biology is. My document 'Identifying Biology - Part 1' contains the material that led to the development of a subject called Biology. That is, simply put, what Biology is.

UNIT 1 - IDENTIFYING BIOLOGY
The Nature, Scope And Importance Of Biology With A Focus On The Challenges Facing Man
Biology is the science that specializes in the study of living things
...
Logos is study
...
Scientists have fail to provide an accepted definition of
life
...
It cannot be explained using the laws of chemistry and
physics
...
Therefore, for the convenience of the study, it is
divided into three main branches
...
Below are some of the areas studies under these branches
...
Life on earth originated about 3
...
The
first living organisms were heterogeneous, anaerobic prokaryotes
...
Based on there studies, scientists estimate that there are more than 10 – 100 million species in the
world
...
The diversity of life on Earth, the number of species of plants, animals and micro-organisms, the
diversity of genes within those species, the different ecosystems of the earth such as deserts, rain
forests, coral reefs are all biologically diverse parts of the earth
...
Therefore, there is an understanding of the human body
and the ability to evaluate it
...
Sustainable Use And Management Of Natural Resources And The Environment
Natural resources are the source of naturally occurring materials and energies used in everyday life
and economic development
...
Over-consumption of natural
resources is taking place due to the rapid growth of human population
...
Overuse of natural resources causes various environmental problems
...
Knowledge of
biology can help to solve these problems
...
The current human population is about 7 billion
...
Therefore, sustainable food production is essential for human survival
...
•
•
•
Production of high yielding plant and animal varieties
Production of plant and animal varieties resistant to diseases
Development of post harvest technology
...
All animals depend directly or indirectly on plants
...
Productivity must increase with the growth of the human
population
...
Understanding Diseases And Their Causes
Knowledge of diseases, their causes and their effects is essential for maintaining a healthy human body
...
•
•
•
•
Cancer – The causes of this are not yet fully understood
...
AIDS – A viral disease that is a serious health problem that is spreading around the world
...
The reasons for this
have not yet been fully identified
...
Scientists are currently working on the prevention, treatment and cure of these diseases
