Animal Theory

Biology (in Hebrew: Animal Theory ) is a branch of the natural sciences that deals with the composition of the fauna and flora, the origin of life , their diversity, the behavior of living things , and their interactions between themselves and themselves and their environment.

Today, biology is not seen as a single discipline , but as a framework that incorporates a large number of disciplines dealing with the phenomena of life and living things. Although some of these disciplines - for example, botany and zoology - are ancient, biology has emerged as a science that unites them, examining their interconnections only in the 19th century , so processes and traits that are common to living things have been discovered as a whole.

Being such a broad field, biology is divided into many different sub-domains. The distribution according to the type of organism that was previously practiced is responsible for areas such as botany - the study of plants, and microbiology - the study of microorganisms ; But biology can also be subdivided according to the scale of the phenomena studied: for example, molecular biology deals with the molecular field, physiology deals with organism's functions, while ecology deals with interactions between organisms and their relationships with the environment .

Biology is now considered to be one of the major branches of science. More than a million articles are published in the field each year ^{[ source required ]} , and major issues in the field, such as genetic engineering , are at the forefront of both scientific research and the eye of public debate.
