Best Answer

A biologist is a scientist who studies living organisms.

Biologists involved in basic research attempt to discover underlying mechanisms that govern how organisms function. Biologists involved in applied research attempt to develop or improve medical, industrial or agricultural processes. Some biologists work in management positions coordinating or supervising research.

There are many specialties within Biology and much overlap between them. It is often hard to classify a biologist as only one of them. Some of the fields are:

* Animal

* Biochemistry

* Cell

* Developmental

* Ecology

* Evolutionary

* Genetic

* Microbiology

* Molecular

* Plant

* Structural

* Taxonomy

* Morphology

* Cytology

Many jobs in biology as a field require an academic degree. A PhD (or equivalent) is generally required to direct independent research involves a specialization in a specific area of biology
