| Introduction |
Biology is the study of life. The study
of how life began, how living things are organized, how organisms function,
and how all life forms interact with each other. As a biologist, you will
direct your interest in living things into observing and evaluating life
processes.
Students may be seeking a career in biological research, natural resource
management, agriculture, human health or education. Your area of study may
be outdoors, in a classroom, a laboratory, a research station, or with a
specialized research group. Students may choose from one of the professional
fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, physiology, microbiology,
molecular biology, zoology or botany. |
