Question

The scientific study of living things is called as
A. Biology
B. Geology
C. Physics
D. Math

Answer 1

Living things are things which can grow, breath, move and reproduce. In contrast there are non-living things which are dead and hence cannot feel any emotion. Talking about living things sounds very simple but they are actually very complex organisms.

Complete answer:
Things which can grow, breath, reproduce, move are living things. Living things vary from simple to complex, from as simple as bacteria to as complex as a human being. The scientific study of living things is simply called Biology. It is a very vast subject containing information about a tiny bacteria to a big tree. Father of biology is Aristotle.
Biology is a subdiscipline of science. It consists of three major branches: zoology, botany, and microbiology. Zoology deals with study of animals and their complexity. Scientists who study about animals are called zoologists. They study the origin and development of animals. Father of Zoology is Aristotle.
Botany deals with study of plants. Scientists who study are called botanists. They study the plant scientifically. Botany is also called phytology. Father of botany is Theophrastus.
Microbiology deals with the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, virus, organisms which cannot be seen with naked eyes. Microbiology scientists are called microbiologists. The founding father of microbiology is Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option ‘A’- Biology.

Note: From the given options, the term geology means the study of earth, history of rocks. It is also called earth science.
Physics is also a subdiscipline of science. It deals with the study of matter, motion, etc.
And math is the study of numbers, measurement properties, relationship of quantities, etc.
