Life sciences refer to the branches of science that involve the scientific study of organisms. This includes various fields such as biology, botany, zoology, ecology, and genetics, among others. Life sciences aim to understand the structure, function, behavior, and interactions of living organisms, as well as their relationships with the environment. By studying organisms at different levels, from molecular and cellular to organismal and ecological, life sciences contribute to our knowledge of life and its processes, and also have practical applications in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and conservation.
