    What are the benefits?

    Well, don't you ever wonder what's happening inside your body? Why certain organisms behave a certain way? Why you suddenly feel so sick? How we every came into existence? Biology answers all these questions! Although we don't nearly have every answer in the world, we do figure out a lot of things that were never known to us through Biology! I sound like i'm selling a product, but seriously, I cannot get over how clueless I was before I took AP Biology this year. Did you know that you can insert a gene into any living organism and you can produce a functional protein? That's how we create Insulin to help Diabetes patients! We just insert a human gene coding for Insulin into a bacteria plasmid, and that bacteria plasmid can synthesis all the insulin protein we need! I found out so many cool stuff by learning biology. And to be honest with you, I find Biology the most interesting science.

    Physics? BLEH

    Chemistry? Meh...

    Biology? WOAH

    Haha, I love biology.

    Biology, it's life. Everyone should study biology because it tells us about our body, how to stay fit, why diseases occur, what to do during diseases, how medicines cure diseases, etc. It tells us about the organisms around us, plants, animals, etc. It is the subject which explains how human occurred on earth, how these diverse organisms around us occurred, etc. We should study biology to exist on earth.
