Topics: Science : Biology
Biology is the branch of science which studies living organisms and how they interact with each other and their environment. It examines the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living things. It also classifies and describes organisms and their inter-relationships.
Associations
This category is for organizations which do not themselves conduct scientific research but aim to spread information about such research.
