What is the importance of Biology?

Question

Generally how is it important? This question is for my project!

Answer 1

Look at its definition: The science of life and of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution.
I think you can see the importance here. Think of all the ways it can be applied in todays world (Health, Environment etc)

Answer 2

THE IMPORTANCE OF BIOLOGY

The biological disciplines imply a significant responsibility for the protection and the welfare of all the living species. The knowledge about the diversity of life forms and their conservation-exploitation is greatly important for our day by day life.

Have you gotten sick some time? Well, all we have got ill some times and in order that our doctor was able to accomplish a good diagnosis from our illness, he or she had to be familiar with the normal organic functions that we consider within the homeostatic parameters. This normal state, or homeostasis, is investigated by Biology.

The study on the origin of diseases and plagues is also answerable by means of Biology, for example the etiology of cancer, infections, functional problems, the damage to fruits, the pathologies of farm animals, plants, trees, etc.

Food resources and quality, factors that cause illnesses, plagues, sustainable exploitation of natural resources, the enhancement and development of useful species, the discovery and production of medicines, the study of the functions of living beings, their inheritance, etc., all are fields of research through Biology.

The food that we consume are materials produced by living beings, the Biology studies the living beings and the processes implied in the production of those nutritional substances. Besides, by means of the Biotechnology, the Biologists search for methods that make to the producers to be more efficient in the elaboration of food and other supplies for humans.

The Biology covers the study of all the living beings and their interactions into the biosphere. This it is a very important task because we are able to know the behavior or functioning of each population when it faces to other individuals from other populations or communities and how the populations or the specific sectors of the biosphere are affected and/or benefited by that behavior or functioning of the populations into a community..

The Biology also investigate the environmental factors that surround the living beings; and, by means of conservationism, it seeks for more effective ways to understand the variations or new conditions of the environment that can threaten the existence of living beings on our planet.

Answer 3

It depends on your own personal opinion of it. It is important that some people deem it important, otherwise anything related to health, food, agriculture, disease, animal care, nutrition, etc wouldn't exist. Life as we know it would become very difficult and I'm sure the life expectancy would decrease. People haven't always know much about biology in the sense that we know it (ie, cells, viruses, immune systems, etc) but they have know cause/effects of environmental forces on their bodies. In one way or another, biology is very important. Without an understanding of basic biology, we may find ourselves in a very difficult battle with disease. Take AIDS in Africa for example. Much of the reason why it is so prevalent is because of a lack of education about how the human body and viruses work.

Answer 4

That is like asking "what is the value of air?". You need to refine your question to be able to provide a more case specific answer. Such as

What is the importance of Biology -
"as it applies -to daily life"
- research and development
- medical breakthroughs
- understanding of the human species

etc.....

ok?
