Modern principles of other fields— chemistry , medicine , and physics , for example—are integrated with those of biology in areas such as biochemistry , biomedicine, and biophysics . Biology is divided into separate branches for convenience of study , biology covers a broad range of topics that are broken into many disciplines and sub discipline...
