Question

why biology in at least one respect a much more difficult science than physics?

Answer 1

In biology your are dealing with the most complicated things
on earth - life.

These systems have numerous interacting parts and you need to know for each living system one studies - whether its a cell or and organ or a whole animal - which factors are relevant to your study and which ones aren't. Furthermore, at the chemical level, there are literally thousands of compounds in a living system all ineracting with each other in ways we dont fully understand.

Physics, on the other hand, deals with "less complicated" systems with fewer variables to consider. However, describing
these systems in mathematics is not that easy and solving the
resulting equations in closed analytic form is mostly impossible for many situtations and one relies mostly on numerical methods
to solve them.

Answer 2

In physics , you have not to deal with the composition of the matter you study .in chemistry , when you study, you have to deal with a low number of molecules . But in biology, even viruses have a lot of molecules. It is quite impossible to follow all these. So, it is impossible to find Exactly what happens. you have to work with experiments and only some very simple brings, one individual is different of the other. So, you must use Statistics and it is difficult to do this without errors

Answer 3

Because most of the laws and principles in physics are already discovered, but biology still holds an infinite number of secrets to be revealed. For example, it is said that underwater, more than 90% of the living creatures are still to be discovered.

Answer 4

Because in Biology we need to learn all the Scientific(botanical)names of the organisms and need to learn many organisms in detail, which is not quite interesting

Answer 5

If you are a math person you can get good in fitting things in to math equations. Biology does not necessarily fit in to math equations.This is what could throw you.
