• Botany is the science of plants;

• Zoology is the science of animals;

• Bacteriology is the science of bacteria;

• Mycology is the science of mushrooms;

• Lichenology is the science of lichens;

• Virology is the science of viruses;

• Anthropology - disciplines devoted to the study of man;

• Morphology – studies the external structure and shape of organisms;

• Anatomy studies the internal structure and form of organisms;

• Physiology is the science of the functions of living organisms and their parts;

• Molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics are disciplines that study the molecular level of life organization;

• Cytology is the science of cells;

• Histology is the science of tissues;

• Developmental biology is a science that studies the patterns of individual development;

• Genetics is the science of heredity and variability;

• Ecology is a science that studies the way of life of organisms and their interaction with the environment;

• Evolutionary theory is a section of biology dedicated to the study of the laws of the historical development of living things;

• Systematics is a science whose main task is the classification of living things;

• Paleontology is a science that studies the remains of fossil organisms.

While studying biology, you will meet all the listed sciences and thus it will be easier to remember them.

Science, the main task of which is the classification of living things, is: morphology, anatomy, systematics, and mycology. Morphology and anatomy study the structure of living things, and mycology studies fungi.

The subject of study of lichenology is: bacteria, lichens, fungi, plants. Bacteria are the subject of study of bacteriology (department of microbiology), fungi are studied by mycology, and plants are studied by botany.
