  Biology - MSN Encarta
Today biology is subdivided into hierarchies based on the molecule, the cell, the organism, and the population.
Organismal biology, in turn, is related to cellular biology, because the life functions of multicellular organisms are governed by the activities and interactions of their cellular components.
Human populations are by convention not considered within the province of biology; instead, they are the subject of anthropology and the various social sciences.

 BrummellBlog: Teaching Biology...
That the processes of life, and the science of Biology are subject to the laws of Physics and Chemistry became a respectible intellectual position, though it was probably not until Watson and Crick's famous discovery of the structure of DNA that this idea was really defensible.
Cellular biology is the study of processes within living cells, including the processing of DNA and RNA.
Cellular biology is listed for 1861, rather than 1839, because it was Pasteur's experiments that really demonstrated the validity of cell theory.

 Introduction to Evolutionary Biology
al., in their cell biology text, proclaim, "It was Charles Darwin's great insight that organisms are all related in a great chain of being..." In fact, the idea of a great chain of being, which traces to Linnaeus, was overturned by Darwin's idea of common descent.
Biology came of age as a science when Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species." But, the idea of evolution wasn't new to Darwin.
Population genetics is a field of biology that attempts to measure and explain the levels of genetic variation in populations.

 Experiences in Mol & Cell
The multicellular organism is the center of attraction in the former category, whereas the microbiologist or cellular biologist deals with microbes (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) or with activities within cells of multicellular organisms.
Many microbiologists and cellular biologists are employed by county, state and federal agencies or in the private sector such as an animal vaccine supply company, a clinical reference laboratory doing tests for physicians and health departments or a pharmaceutical corporation.
Although there are career opportunities for microbial and cellular biologists with the baccalaureate degrees, many professionals hold either a masters degree or a Ph.D. For this reason it is advisable that individuals interested in careers in microbial or cellular biology give careful consideration to graduate study after completion of the bachelor's degree.
