1-Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. The earliest roots of science can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3500 to 3000 BCE.

5-biology is the study of life, more specifically "a branch of knowledge that deals with living organisms and vital processes"; chemistry consists of "a science that deals with the composition, structure and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo Physics is the basic physical science. ... Physics can, at base, be defined as the science of matter, motion, and energy. Its laws are typically expressed with economy and precision in the language of mathematics.
