Biophysics Major
Some universities offer undergraduate Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees in Biophysics, while others only offer a Biophysics degree at the graduate level (i.e., a master’s and/or doctorate degree). Biophysics degrees are heavily focused on physics and biophysics courses, and usually those who major in biophysics are required to take numerous math and…

History of Biophysics
Biophysics is a relatively young branch of science; it arose as a definite subfield in the early to mid-20th Century. However, the foundations for the study of biophysics were laid down much earlier, in the 19th Century, by a group of physiologists in Berlin. The Berlin school of physiologists included Hermann von Helmholtz, Emil DuBois-Reymond,…

Biophysics Definition
Biophysics is a branch of science that uses the methods of physics to study biological processes. Physics uses mathematical laws to explain the natural world, and it can be applied to biological organisms and systems to gain insight into their workings. Research in biophysics has helped prevent and treat disease, advance drug development, and create…

Branches of Biochemistry
The primary branches of biochemistry are listed in this subsection. Molecular Biology It is also referred to as the roots of Biochemistry. It deals with the study of functions of the living systems. This field of biology explains all the interactions between DNA, proteins, and RNA and their synthesis. Cell biology Cell Biology deals with…

What is Biochemistry?
The branch of science dealing with the study of all the life processes such as control and coordination within a living organism is called Biochemistry. This term was introduced to us by Carl Neuberg, the father of biochemistry in the year 1930. This field combines biology as well as chemistry to study the chemical structure…

Branches of Zoology
The study of animal life is ancient, but its scientific incarnation is relatively modern. Until the comparative anatomical study on morphographs by Hunter and Cuvier, the modern areas of zoological investigations have occurred. Gradually zoology expanded behind the comparative anatomy to include the following sub-disciplines:

Introduction to Zoology
Zoology is the branch of biology concerned with the study animals and animal kingdom. It is also known as animal biology. The study of zoology includes the interaction of animal kingdom in their ecosystems such as classification, habits, structure, embryology, distribution, evolution, and extinct species. Zoology is the division of biology that deals with the animal kingdom. It…

White Blood Cells
The immune system has specialized cells called white blood cells that recognize foreign materials in the body and respond. The number of white blood cells in the blood can increase during an immune response. These cells travel through the circulatory system and the lymphatic system to an injured or infected area of the body. White…
