what is the difference between zoology and botany?

Answer 1

Zoology is the study of animals and botany is the study of plants. They have commonalities in that they both study morphology of the organisms, etc. SO HOW WOULD YOU DISTINGUISH A PLANT FROM AN ANIMAL?
Plant vs. Animal: green/chlorophyll - Not green/no cholor.
Autotrophic Heterotrophic, makes own food digest organic, non motile/ highly motile, No nervous or have both systems
excretory system , Cell division restricted Generalized cell division throughout org. to certain regions call
Meristems (undifferentiated regions)
Cell bound by non- No cell walls only cell memb. living cell wall w/cellulose Problems with this system and concept esp. for some forms of organisms
Alga - Euglena
Green, photosynthetic Highly motile, both Autotrophic and Heterotrophic
Fungi Look like plants, have structure that resembles plant stems, but
but no fungi are green, none are Autotrophic all are Heterotrophic
Green animals. Birds and reptiles
Stationary animals (marine barnacles, sea fans, etc.)
New concept! Why does it have to be either a plant or an animal? Why not another life form. (Chickens really are birds)
New concept, not just two kingdomsbut five kingdoms
Classification starts at the cellular level
Five Kingdoms are
Monera - Bacteria - cyanobacteria (blue green algae)
Protista Protozoa, Algae, Slime Molds
Fungi - Molds, mildews, mushrooms lichens, Many different types
Plantae - true plants
Animalia - Animals.

Answer 6

Biology mean the science of life. Biology has two main branches, Botany and Zoology.

Botany is the study of plants and zoology is the study of animals.
The word botany comes from greek word botane which means plant pasture and the word zoology comes from greek word zoon which means animal. Nowadays these two terms are included in lifescience



Botany is the scientific study of plantlife. As a branch of biology, it is also sometimes referred to as plant science(s) or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development and diseases of plants. The study of plants and botany began with tribal lore, used to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making botany one of the oldest sciences. From this the scope of botany has increased to include the study of over 550,000 kinds or species of living organisms.

Zoology is the biological discipline which involves the study of non-human animals.

The word zoology comes from Greek ζῴον, zoon ("animal"), and λογία, -logy ("the study of"), from λόγος, word, speech.

Answer 7

Zoo = animals
Bot = Plants

while the branch of science that relates wt the study of plants is botany.

Answer 8

1)Botany:-Botanne means herbs and Logy means study.The study of Plants,Flowers,Fruits,Cells of plants....includes Botany
2)Zoology:-Zoon means animals and logy means study.So Zoology is a study of animals and organisms.

Answer 9

zoology is the study of animals and botany is the study of plants
