How is biology related to other sciences? Show and explain the link.

Biology is interconnected with several other sciences:

Chemistry: Biological processes like digestion, respiration, and photosynthesis involve chemical reactions. Biochemistry explains how enzymes, proteins, and DNA function.

Physics: Concepts like energy transfer, fluid mechanics (blood circulation), and biomechanics relate to biological functions.

Mathematics: Used in genetics (probability in inheritance), statistics (data analysis in experiments), and ecology (population studies).

Geology: Helps understand evolution and fossil records in paleontology.

Environmental Science: Biology and ecology study ecosystems, conservation, and climate change effects.

These connections help in medical advancements, environmental conservation, and technological innovations.
