Answer 3

As with other life forms in biology, plant life can be studied from different perspectives, from the molecular, genetic and biochemical level through organelles, cells, tissues, organs, individuals, plant populations, and communities of plants. At each of these levels a botanist might be concerned with the classification (taxonomy), structure (anatomy and morphology), or function (physiology) of plant life.

Historically all living things were grouped as animals or plants,[2] and botany covered all organisms not considered animals. Some organisms once included in the field of botany are no longer considered to belong to the plant kingdom – these include fungi (studied in mycology), lichens (lichenology), bacteria (bacteriology), viruses (virology) and single-celled algae, which are now grouped as part of the Protista. However, attention is still given to these groups by botanists, and fungi, lichens, bacteria and photosynthetic protists are usually covered in introductory botany courses.

The study of plants is vital because they are a fundamental part of life on Earth, which generates the oxygen, food, fibres, fuel and medicine that allow humans and other higher life forms to exist. Through photosynthesis, plants also absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that in large amounts can affect global climate, they prevent soil erosion and impact the water cycle. Paleobotanists study ancient plants in the fossil record. It is believed that early in the earth's history, the evolution of photosynthetic plants altered the global atmosphere of the earth, changing the ancient atmosphere by oxidation. A good understanding of plants is crucial to the future of human societies as it allows us to:

Produce food to feed an expanding population

Understand fundamental life processes

Produce medicine and materials to treat diseases and other ailments

Understand environmental changes more clearly

Answer 4

Botany is the scientific study of plants.....

Hope this helps..

Answer 5

The study of plants, if i'm not mistaken.

- vegetation: all the plant life in a particular region or period

- the branch of biology that studies plants

Answer 6

Botany deals with the study of plants, their species.  

Answer 7

Botany, plant science, phytology, or plant biology is a branch of biology and is the scientific study of plant life and development. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study plants, algae, and fungi including: structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, and chemical properties and evolutionary relationships between the different groups. Botany, the study of plants, began with tribal efforts to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making botany one of the oldest sciences

Answer 8

Botany is the study of plants & their structure.

Answer 9

Botany is the study of plants.

Answer 10

Botany is the scientific study of plant life, the study of all plant kingdom with plant life.

Answer 11

Botany:  That most wonderously wonderful subdivision of the biological fields, originally splitting off from geography many a year ago, inclusive of the scientific study of all things plant-ish (at least biologically), and found with it's grubby little fingers still in the pots (so to speak) of many an ever so slightly related field to this date.

Answer 12

It's the study of plants.

Answer 13
