it's my assignment. please help me with this one. what are the branches of biology according to subject matter and acoording to kinds of organisms?

Living organisms are divided into 5 kingdoms
1) monera - cell/micro biology
~bacteria
~unicellular
~most ancient
Movement: flagella
respiration: aerobic,anaerobic,facultative (both)
nutrition : autotrophic, heterotrophic
Reproduction: asexual, sexual
2) Protista -cell/micro biology
~single-celled
~no cell walls
~contains organelles including a nucleus
movement: cilia, flagella, amoeboid mechanisms
nutrition: photosynthesis, ingestion of other organisms
3) Fungi - cell-biology
~Organelles, including a nucleus, no chlorplasts
~unicellular, filamentous
nutrition: heterotrophic, parasites, mutualists, saprotrophs
reproduction: asexual
food store: glycogen
4) plantae - botany
~multi-cellular
~organelles are present- nucleus, chloroplasts, cell wall
nutrition: photosynthesis
food store: starch
5) Animalia -zoology
~multi-cellular
~have organelles- no cell wall, chloroplasts
nutrition: ingestion

There are "branches" of Biology but it is one of the branches of Natural Science
Cell Biology-cytology
Bactria and microorganisims-microbiology
Animals- Zoology
Plants- Botany
etc.
Because Biology is the father of Natural Sciences, maybe not all classifications according to organisms but also reactions to the environment like Ecology.

According to kinds of organisms, It may be- Vertebrates and Invertebrates or Unicellular and Multicellular(according to no: of cells in the organism).
According to matter, Matter is of three types- Solid, Liquid and Gas.
Jemarie, I want to wish you ALL THE BEST for your assignment.
Bye!!! And god bless you!!!

taxonomy - classification of organisms (both plants and animals)
genetics - genes and heredity
cytology - cells (plant and animal cells)
histology - tissues
physiology - function of organisms
anatomy - structure of organisms
ecology - interaction of organisms in the environment
biochemistry - chemical compositions of organisms
mammalogy - mammals
herpetology - reptiles and amphibians
acarology - mites and ticks
arachnology - spiders
cetology - marine mammals
entomology - insects
ethology - animal behavior
astrobiology - possible life in space
genomics - organism's genome
pathology - diseases
parasitology - parasites
molecular biology - biology at molecular level
mycology - fungi
phycology - algae
microbiology - bacteria and viruses
Microbial physiology: The study of how the microbial cell functions biochemically. Includes the study of microbial growth, microbial metabolism and microbial cell structure.
Microbial genetics: The study of how genes are organised and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions. Closely related to the field of molecular biology.
Medical microbiology: The study of the role of microbes in human illness. Includes the study of microbial pathogenesis and epidemiology and is related to the study of disease pathology and immunology.
Veterinary microbiology: The study of the role in microbes in veterinary medicine.
Environmental microbiology: The study of the function and diversity of microbes in their natural environments. Includes the study of microbial ecology, microbially-mediated nutrient cycling, geomicrobiology, microbial diversity and bioremediation.
Evolutionary microbiology: The study of the evolution of microbes. Includes the study of bacterial systematics and taxonomy.
Industrial microbiology: The exploitation of microbes for use in industrial processes. Examples include industrial fermentation and wastewater treatment. Closely linked to the biotechnology industry. This field also includes brewing, an important application of microbiology.
Aeromicrobiology: The study of Airborne Microorganisms.
Food Microbiology: The study of Microorganisms causing Food Spoilage.
that all i can get!!!!!

Technically no cell theory: Cell is the Basic unit of living things all living things consist of one or more cells all cells originate from other pre-existing cells so the answer is no.
