Title: What's the difference between Biology and Biological Sciences? Post by: Mhightower on Jan 22, 2014 I'm looking into university courses and I've noticed that these come up as separate things.
What's the difference? I had always assumed Biological Sciences was the same as Biology... Title: What's the difference between Biology and Biological Sciences? Post by: smith123 on Jan 22, 2014 Biology is a general study of living things, both plants and animals. It touches on all of the basics; cell function, mitosis and meiosis, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the ecosystem, examining plants and animals from simple to complex.
Biological sciences are more specific, and study an area of biology. For example, my specialty is human physiology and cardiology. These are biological sciences, but they are the study of the biochemistry of the human body and its systems, and in particular for me, the heart and circulatory system. Does this help? Title: What's the difference between Biology and Biological Sciences? Post by: zme_9325 on Jan 22, 2014 It is the same thing - different universities name the course differently.
Title: What's the difference between Biology and Biological Sciences? Post by: tryingtostudy on Jan 22, 2014 Probably nothing really. A biological studies or biological sciences degree is usually just what a university with an extensive biology program with lots of options will call their general degree. At a school that only offers 1 or 2 life science majors, they'll just call it biology.
