The fields within
biology are further divided based on the scale at which organisms are studied and the methods used to study them: biochemistry examines the fundamental chemistry of life; molecular
biology studies the complex interactions of
systems of biological molecules; cellular
biology examines the basic
building block of all life, the cell; physiology examines the physical and chemical functions of the tissues and organ
systems of an organism; and ecology examines how various organisms interrelate.
