Question	Answer
multicellular organism that are capable of making their own food from the combination of carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, etc.	PLANTS
the branch of biology that studies plants	BOTANY

Botany is the branch of __________ concerned with the scientific study of plants including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, classification, and economic importance	BIOLOGY
study of life forms	BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
study of matter and energy	PHYSICAL SCIENCES
The process of science commences with an observation	Observation and Defining the problem.
The process of gathering data that helps you generate a possible explanation, a preliminary conclusion or even a guess about the problem	Forming a hypothesis
Experimentation tests whether your prediction is accurate and thus your hypothesis is supported or not.	Testing a Hypothesis through experimentation
Once your experiment is complete, you collect your results. These are called data and often referred as evidence and analyze them to see if they support your hypothesis or not.	Recording and Data Analysis
If the result of the experiments supports your hypothesis, you may now draw a scientific theory out of your experiments.	Formulation conclusion
study the structures and functions of important biological molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids	Plant molecular biology
is the study of the chemical interactions within plants, including the variety of chemicals that plants produce	Plant biochemistry
encompasses the structures, functions, and life processes of plant cells	Plant cell biology
is microscopic plant structure (cells and tissues)	Plant anatomy
refers to the structures of plant parts such as leaves, roots, and stems, including their evolution and development.	Plant morphology
study such processes as photosynthesis and mineral nutrition to understand how plants function	Plant physiology
deals with the study of plant heredity, specifically mechanism of hereditary transmission and variation of inherited characteristics	Plant Genetics
is the study of the interrelationships among plants and between plants and their environment	Plant ecology
encompasses the evolutionary relationships among different plant groups	Plant systematics
a subdiscipline of systematics, deals with the description, naming, and classification of plants	Plant taxonomy
is the study of the biology and the evolution of plants in the geologic past	Paleobotany
branch of botany that deals with study of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts)	Bryology
study of the plants and human relationship	ETHNOBOTANY
study of Plant diseases	Phytopathology
deals with utilization of plants for economic purposes	Economic Botany
the branch of botany that deals with soil management and crop production	Agronomy
the science or practice of planting, managing, and caring for forests	Forestry
