Branches of Biology and Their Focus

This video from MooMooMath and Science introduces five branches of biology: marine biology, microbiology, molecular biology, mycology, and neurobiology. Each branch is briefly defined, highlighting its focus and scope. Marine biology examines oceanic life, microbiology studies microbes, molecular biology explores cellular processes, mycology focuses on fungi, and neurobiology investigates the nervous system.
