Biology vs. Physics
Biologynoun
The study of all life or living matter.
Physicsnoun
The branch of science concerned with the study of the properties and interactions of space, time, matter and energy.
‘Newtonian physics was extended by Einstein to explain the effects of travelling near the speed of light; quantum physics extends it to account for the behaviour of atoms.’;
Biologynoun
The living organisms of a particular region.
Physicsnoun
The physical aspects of a phenomenon or a system, especially those studied scientifically.
‘The physics of car crashes would not let Tom Cruise walk away like that.’;
Biologynoun
The structure, function, and behavior of an organism or type of organism.
‘the biology of the whale’;
Physicsnoun
plural of physic
Biologynoun
The science of life; that branch of knowledge which treats of living matter as distinct from matter which is not living; the study of living tissue. It has to do with the origin, structure, development, function, and distribution of animals and plants.
Physicsnoun
The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) that modify the general properties of bodies; natural philosophy.
Biologynoun
the science that studies living organisms
Physicsnoun
the science of matter and energy and their interactions
Biologynoun
characteristic life processes and phenomena of living organisms;
‘the biology of viruses’;
Physics
Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη), romanized: physikḗ (epistḗmē), lit. 'knowledge of nature', from φύσις phýsis 'nature') is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and, through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest.
Biologynoun
all the plant and animal life of a particular region
Biologynoun
the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behaviour, origin, and distribution.
Biologynoun
the plants and animals of a particular area
‘the biology of the Chesapeake Bay’;
Biologynoun
the physiology, behaviour, and other qualities of a particular organism or class of organisms
‘human biology’;
Biology
Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.
