1. Branches of Biology

2. The Molecular Level Study the molecular units of life.

3. The Molecular Level Study the molecular units of life. Investigate the workings of DNA.

4. The Molecular Level Study the molecular units of life. Investigate the workings of DNA. Study basic organic molecules (protein, fat, carbohydrate…)

5. The Molecular Level Study the molecular units of life. Investigate the workings of DNA. Study basic organic molecules (protein, fat, carbohydrate…) Example: A scientist studies the effect of drugs on molecules

6. The Cellular Level Studies cells.

7. The Cellular Level Studies cells. Studies how cells divide

8. The Cellular Level Studies cells. Studies how cells divide Studies the structure and function of a cell

9. The Cellular Level Studies cells. Studies how cells divide Studies the structure and function of a cell Example: Scientists look at what happens to cancer cells exposed to tobacco.

10. The Multicellular Level Studies Multicellular Organisms. Zoologists set up bat traps

11. The Multicellular Level Studies Multicellular Organisms. Animal behavior Zoologists set up bat traps

12. The Multicellular Level Studies Multicellular Organisms. Animal behavior Plant and animal structure and function. Zoologists set up bat traps

13. The Multicellular Level Studies Multicellular Organisms. Animal behavior Plant and animal structure and function. Example: A zoologist looks at the changes in an organism as it ages. Zoologists set up bat traps

14. The Population Level Studies groups of organisms. Zoologists set up bat traps

15. The Population Level Studies groups of organisms. How does a population interact with the environment. Zoologists set up bat traps

16. The Population Level Studies groups of organisms. How does a population interact with the environment. What is the effect of humans on nearby life. Zoologists set up bat traps

17. The Population Level Studies groups of organisms. How does a population interact with the environment. What is the effect of humans on nearby life. Example: An ecologist looks at how pesticides effects the local insect population. Zoologists set up bat traps

18. The Global Level Study organisms and the environment on a global scale.

19. The Global Level Study organisms and the environment on a global scale. Example: How does global warming effect the number of species worldwide?

20. The Global Level Study organisms and the environment on a global scale. Example: How does global warming effect the number of species worldwide? Why does the world fish population drop during El Nino?
