‪The study of living organisms is called Biology. This study covers an almost limitless subject covering an enormous range of scientific disciplines. This ranges from the basic structure of molecules and the intricate mechanisms of our cells to the power of genomics or the driving forces of evolution. Biology is said to be more on the quantitative qualities rather than on the qualitative. This is because when you study Biology, you will be dealing with numbers and as well as you will be encountering data which can be measured and calculated. To name a few, here are the measurements which should be deliberately calculated during observations, experiments or tests: length, height, area, volume, weight, speed, time, temperature, humidity, sound levels, cost, members, ages, etc.‬
