Question

How is biology related to other sciences?

Answer 1

Hint: All living organisms show some common characteristics. These characteristics do not exactly define life as such. But we can classify something as living or non-living based on these characteristics. Cells make up living organisms that can be organized into tissues and organs. Living organisms can undergo metabolism, they can reproduce, and over a while evolve.

Complete answer:
Biology is the study of living organisms, how their behaviour, development, morphology, etc. and also all the processes involved to make life possible. The study of biology involves the use of physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, etc.
All living organisms undergo metabolism i.e. breaking down (catabolism) and formation (anabolism) of molecules to obtain or release energy. Metabolism involves several chemical reactions. These molecules are made up of chemical elements. Therefore, knowledge of chemistry is necessary. This branch of biology is called biochemistry.
Using instruments such as microscopes, x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. to view biomolecules, organisms or processes is a part of biophysics. These instruments are made based on the knowledge of physics. For example, the microscope uses the properties of light, especially the refraction of light.
Computer and mathematics can be used to study biological systems. There is this branch of biology called bioinformatics that uses different databases to store information regarding genes, proteins, carbohydrates, etc., which is easily accessible. The software tools can be used to create models of various biomolecules, even their three-dimensional structures.
These are a few of the interdisciplinary sciences that help understand biological science better.

Note: Apart from the interdisciplinary sciences, biology itself is a vast subject. It includes taxonomy, evolutionary biology, physiology, genetics, ecology, developmental biology, evolutionary biology, etc.
Life science includes all branches of science that involve the study of living organisms such as botany, zoology, microbiology, etc. Applied life science includes subjects like biomedical engineering, genomics, etc. All sciences interconnected in some way or the other.
