3. Biology
Chemistry: chemical reactions occur in the body every day. Chemical reactions explain biological processes such as how food digests or tears form. Botany: subcategory of biology because botany is the study of plants (which are living organisms); Biology independent of botany, but botany requires biology in order to be a subject. Astronomy: Biologically critical elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen couldn’t exist without solar cycles of life, the creation of stars, and death. Physics: study of motion used in digestive systems, in knowing how fluid diffuses. A&P: biology requires A&P in order to understand how organisms manage to live, how their body systems contribute to survival

4. Biology vs. Botany

5. Chemistry vs. A&P
Bone formation: A&P learn names, locations, how formed, etc. Bones store chemical elements, so understanding of chemistry can explain how are stored and released Building blocks like proteins, fats, sugars, and enzymes for A&P contain chemical bonds and reactions in the body Understanding of chemical components and reactions is necessary to fully comprehend physiology (study of body functions) and anatomy (identify organs, locations)

6. Chemistry
A&P: chemical compounds used in body systems to aid in digestion, maintenance of health, etc. Neuroscience: certain chemical compounds in the brain determine activity (ex. Neurotransmitters) Psychology: chemical compounds influence behavior, medicines can stimulate certain activity or depress it. Pharmacology: in order to know enough about medication, one needs to know the chemical properties, specific info about the chemicals themselves, etc.

8. Psychology
Pharmacology: pharmacology thrives on the ability to manipulate the mind and influence behavior. Therefore comprehension of how the mind works is vital Neuroscience: studies the science of the brain and covers a little bit of behavior. Neuroscience depends on the understanding of the brain and its influence on behavior, which psychology does

12. Paleontology
Study of prehistoric life Biology: relates b/c studies living organisms and how those organisms evolved Chemistry: chemical compounds inside organs, hairs, fossilized plant life determines how prehistoric animals lived, ate, looked like, etc. A&P: relates b/c compares anatomy of prehistoric times to current times Physics: study of motion helps understand motor capacity of prehistoric creatures; also the possibility of a meteor- related extinction. Botany: both study plant life, but paleontology studies prehistoric plant life; paleontology needs botany to appreciate and fully comprehend the primitive plant systems.
