Let’s see about
biology. Biology is a very beautiful and interesting subject that studying
about the life. This subject divide to many sections as example microbiology, biochemistry,
astrobiology...ect: As you know biology very useful to our daily life. It helps
to us to continue a healthy life. Do you know the importance and main targets
from biology? lets collect some of them.
The importance and main targets of biology
• Understanding biological diversity :
There has been life on earth
for over 3.5 billion years. We should understand that there are around 30
million species of animals and plants in the world. There is a dynamic
relationship between the world of life and the inanimate world.
• Understanding the human body and its functions:
We should be able to
appreciate the organization of the human body, how systems within the body are
interconnected and the way structure is related to function.
• Management of natural resources and environment:
The natural resources are
limited and with the current increase in
growth of human population
there is a threat of depletion of natural resources. Destruction of Ozone layer
in the atmosphere, acid rain, global warming caused by increasing concentrations
of CO in the atmosphere, pollution of
rivers and underground water supplies leading to a dearth in drinking water in
the future etc, are some of the results.
• Sustainable food production:
With the current rate of
population growth, three people are added to the world’s population each
second. The current human population of 6 billion is expected to double in less
than 40 years. Therefore, for the survival of mankind, sustainable food
production is necessary. Production of high yielding varieties of plants and
animals, development of disease resistant varieties, improved methods of post
harvest technology needs to be emphasized.
• Understanding of causes and effects of diseases:
Scientists are currently
working on cures for diseases such as cancer, AIDS, malaria and TB. AIDS is a
serious and growing health problem worldwide. Malaria can kill over 3 million
people per year in underdeveloped countries. Cancers which is the leading cause
of death in some countries are not fully understood yet. In addition, new
diseases arise from time to time. Scientists are working on prevention,
remedial measures and cures for diseases.
Now you are know
about the importance of biology. This blog will give you unique knowledge in
biological science. You can collect them all and increase your biological knowledge.
We’ll explore the biology world with future posts.
