Which branch of science is short on laws?

Correct answer: A. Biology

  • A. Biology
  • B. Physics
  • C. Chemistry
  • D. All of these

Explanation

The correct answer is biology. Biology is the study of living organisms, which are inherently complex and diverse, making it challenging to formulate universal laws that apply to all life forms. In contrast, physics and chemistry are fields with well-established laws that describe fundamental principles governing matter and energy. Physics, for example, includes Newton's laws and the laws of thermodynamics, while chemistry includes the periodic law and the law of conservation of mass. Therefore, biology is relatively short on universal laws compared to physics and chemistry.
