Introduction
- Biophysics is a fascinating term for the biology researchers as well as for the physics researcher, as it creates bridge between these two subjects of science.Continue Reading Physics – Biophysics – General Science Notes – For W.B.C.S Examination.
- Biophysics (also known as biological physics) is basically an interdisciplinary approach to study the biological systems. It is uses physics technology to understand the biological systems.
- Likewise, biophysics integrates all levels of biological organization, i.e. from molecular level to organismic and population level.
- In 1892, first time Karl Pearson used the term ‘Biophysics.’
Subject Matter of Biophysics
- Biophysicists study the life (basically human life); starting from the cellular organs (such as ribosome, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) to organisms, and their environment.
- With the advancement of technology, the scientists and researchers of both the disciplines (namely Biology and Physics) started exploring a different level of life to understand how actually biological system works.
- The biophysicists largely research on the following types of questions −
- How do the cells of nervous system communicate?
- How and why do viruses invade cells?
- What is the functionality of protein synthesis?
- How do plants harness sunlight to make their food?
Advantages of Biophysics
- The study of life at molecular level helps to understand many phenomena of a human body including various diseases and their treatment.
- Biophysics helped to understand the structure and function of DNA.
- The study of biophysics helps to understand the various elements of bio-chemistry.
- Biophysics also help to understand the structure and various functionality of protein.
