what all biology entails as a course?
601926
Quite a lot... see the links. Biology is the science of life, so as you can imagine, that subject has a wealth of sub-headings. It relates to chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, botany, genetics,  and many other sciences.\n\nIt will depend on what level of biology course you are taking, but I've included a syllabus for some courses in the links.

Basic college prep courses.  How you do is more important then the actual classes. If there is any science club at your school join it and try to become an officier.

Take (anatomy and physiology).  That is the name of one class.  When I took it in high school, we learned about all the parts of the human body and dissected a cat.  Like the others said, AP biology and chemistry would be good too.  Does your school offer any agricultural classes?  Learning about taking care of livestock animals may give you a good perspective too.  \nGood luck on becoming a midwife.  I think that would be a neat career.

Earth Science - deals w/ earth & solar system; covers astronomy, meteorology, geology, oceanography, hydrology, environmental, etc.\n\nPhysical Science - deals w/ physics & chemistry\n\nBiological or Life Science - deals w/ living organisms & their environments; includes biology, zoology, botany, anatomy & physiology, etc.

Anantomy, physiology,pathology,pharmacology, dianostic techniques, pediatric basics, internal medicine basics, opthomology basics, basic surgery basics,obstetrics basic,dermatology, orthopedics,and the list goes on and on. This will give you a general idea of the course you have to take in medical school.

biology is the most important subject, other than that, any science or sociology course would be well suited.

Biology.  Almost all the programs only require chemistry through organic, which is also a prerequisite in most biology majors.  Biochemistry itself deals precisely with diseases, helps alot with epidemics.  Most programs only recommend biochemistry at the college level.  Much more important is going to be cellular/genetic, so things such as microbiology, anatomy/physiology, and the like.  The link for my source is a link to such a CLS program.  (Clinical Labratory Science.)

Chemistry, Organic Chem, Math, English, Biology, Physiology and Anatomy to name a few.  I suggest you meet with your college advisor to plan your course of studies at your institute of your choice.\n\nBest wishes.

Let's get semantical on you.\n\nWhat is biology?... the study of life, right?\n\nWhat is life? Or maybe better way of phrasing that question is: What is alive?\n\nAnything that meets all the following criteria:\n\nAble to obtain and use energy. \nAble to reproduce.\nAble to respond and adapt to their environment. \n\nSo when we study biology we study things that can do these different things and, more specifically, we study how living things do these different things. Basically, we're trying to understand how living things live.\n\nNow, back to you question concerning chemistry...\n\nHow do you suppose living things are able to do all the things on the list above? You guessed it: CHEMISTRY.\n\nAll the processes above are carried out by chemical reactions that take place between different molecules. Most of these reactions include tiny sub-microscopic machines called proteins. All these proteins are doing is carrying out very specific chemical reactions.\n\nSo when you boil it all down, biology is nothing more than the study of chemical processes that take place in living systems. In fact, it's these chemical processes that allow for life to begin with.

You should go to the local college bookstore and get the introductory bio textbook.  THere are tons of them out there, I don't know of any one that is better than the others.  It would help if you had a syllibus so you know what subjects will be discussed.  I wouldn't worry about it until you take the course though, you'll probably forget everything you've read if you just read the book straight through.

A major in biology-zoology if the have it, specializing in Ichthyology.  A minor in physics and/or engineering- For core requirements  would be biology, zoology, biochem 1, and calculus to get you into the major study listed above.

Biotechnology is a subject that involves the understanding of the physiology, functions and activities etc of various Biological entities and the use of technology in it to produce better products. \nThe main branches of bio tech are plant bio tech, animal bio tech, genetics, Environmental bio tech, Etc. Each of these branches involves the development of that particular branch with the use of technology.\nMedicines or the medical aspect of biotechnology is found in most of these courses. But the basics has to be genetics if you mean to study human disorders etc.\nBiotechnology has a good future as biotech products are now in demand. Also biotechnologists are needed in researches, Pharmaceutical companies, And various biotech companies itself.

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!\nHope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\nI thought there were 5 main branches of biology:\n\n1.  ZOOLOGY: the study of animals\n2. BOTANY: the study of plants\n3. MICROBIOLOGY: the study of viruses, monerans, and protists\n4. BIOCHEMISTRY: the study of the chemical nature of life\n5. ECOLOGY: the study of the interaction among organisms in ecosystems\n\nHope this helps!\n\n--J.
