40 Examples of Biology

 ,
Biology is the science of life. This is a hard science that has numerous branches and fields that number in the hundreds. These include the study of different types of organisms, aspects of biology and levels of biology such as biological processes at the molecular level. Biology also includes various types of applied biology such as agriculture and interdisciplinary fields such as health sciences. The following are common examples of biology.
Agriculture
The science and practice of cultivating plants and livestock.
Anatomy
The structure of living things.
Astrobiology‎
The study of life and possible life in the universe.
Biochemistry
