BIOLOGY A COMPLEX SCIENCE 17 and physicist of to-day deal with matter in even smaller particles, as they have discovered that atoms are further divisible into yrotons and electrons, that is, particles that carry positive and negative electrical charges. When a biologist looks at a living plant or animal he views it in the light of his particular training. To some biologists, the shape and form of the animal are of greatest interest. Others in- vestigate the processes of the living organisms. Biology a complex science. Many divisions of biology have been investigated, and there is so much known about each one that they are sometimes thought of as distinct subjects. The specialist who delves in a particular division is named in terms of the specialty he follows. The specialists who are interested in the study of bacteria (bacteriology) are known as bacteriologists. Protozoology, likewise, has tv\^ protozoologists who are in- ^^—-r—:~^ terested in one-celled ani- mals. Those who studv snakes are interested in herpetology; the specialist is a herpetologist. The en- tomologist studies insects; he is concerned with the science of entomology. Some scientists may special- ize in only one branch of entomology. Bugs are classed as Hemiptera; stu- dents interested in bugs are hemipterists. Butterflies, the Lepidoptera, are the topic of study of the lepidopterists. In each of these branches of biology we have other subdivisions — morphology, the study of the forms and structures, and physiology, the study of the functions of the Biology is a complex science made of many Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Wheat, Frank Merrill; Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth T.
