Biochemistry – The branch of Biology dealing with the chemistry of the living organisms including the study of the chemical nature of the living matter, study of the reactions occurring inside the living organisms, and the study of the complex interactions between the biological processes in the living organisms.

Bioclimatology – The study of the effects of climate on the living organisms.

Bioengineering – Bioengineering is defined as the application of the engineering techniques and analytical methods to the development of biologics, materials, implants, devices, processes and systems that help advance biology and medicine. Bioengineering enhances medical or health care. It is also called Biomedical Engineering or Biological Engineering.

Biogeography – The study of the geographic distribution of the organisms.

Bioinformatics – Bioinformatics is simply the use of Information Technology or IT in Biological and Medical Sciences. For complete definition click here “What is Bioinformatics?”

Biological Anthropology – Biological anthropology is the field of science which is concerned with the study of the physical development of the human species. Biological Anthropology (or Physical Anthropology) deals with the study of the adaptation of the human beings to diverse environments; working together of the biological and cultural processes to shape or influence human beings’ growth, development and behaviour; factors that cause diseases in the human beings and their early death; and our biological origins, our place in nature, evolution, and variation.
