Gravitational Biology

Gravitational biology is the study of how gravity affects living organisms. It explores the biological mechanisms organisms use to sense and respond to gravity, and how gravity influences their growth, development, and overall function. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Gravisensing: The ability of organisms to detect and respond to gravity. Gravitropism: The directional growth response … Read more

Biophysics

Biophysics is the application of physics principles and methods to understand biological systems. It bridges the gap between the physical sciences and biology, exploring the physical properties and mechanisms of living organisms. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Utilizes physics techniques (e.g., spectroscopy, microscopy) to study biological structures and processes. Focuses on the physical forces and … Read more
