DESCRIPTION
The study of Physics in a Biology degree is fully justified since physical mechanisms are the underlying processes that govern every phenomena, including biological ones. Moreover, much of the instrumentation used in Biology comes from developments in physics. Therefore, it is of outmost importance that a future biologist acquires a basic understanding in Physics. It is also important for them to realize the role played by physics on biological processes and that understanding complex systems such as life requires of knowledge in many different fields. On the other hand, problem solving, in this case in Physics, is an important element in any science. It helps develop critical thinking and creative ways of confronting problems, that can be of use for any other subject in their studies and later on, in their professional lives.
