Simple question with a complex answer. Biology covers many areas of study, but at their core, biologists study living organisms, or aspects thereof. Ecologists study organisms in relation to their environment. Paleontologists study the traces of organisms that once existed - a sub-discipline of biology, etc. etc..
A biologist may study life at many levels, and often they specialize on one of those levels. Here is a brief description of those levels from macro to micro:
- Community ecologists study groups of organisms living in a "community", and their study may include aspects of the physical environment in which they live (geological, meteorological, hydrological or chemical).
- Organismal biologists usually study one type of life form, and this can range from their morphology (design), physiology (how they work), behavior, their overall ecology (relationship to their environment), etc.. some study taxonomy/systematics, or how organisms are classified into groups or kind.
- Cellular biologist study living things at the cellular level. A sub-discipline is biochemistry - the study of chemical reactions that take place in living organisms.
So, there is a very broad range of studies within biology. Myself, I am a general ecologist studying desert organisms in the Mojave Desert, and my specialty is in pollination ecology (the study of how vascular plants accomplish reproduction through pollination, either by the services of animal pollinators or by other means), and how those systems have evolved to their current state.

What is the difference between biologist and scientist?
A biologist is a scientist who specifically studies living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environment. A scientist is a broader term that encompasses a wide range of disciplines that involve systematic study of the natural world, including biology, chemistry, physics, and more.
Which kind of scientist would most likely study living organisms?
A biologist would most likely study living organisms. Biologists focus on the study of life, including the structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy of living organisms.
Whom can determine what type of mold you have a biologist or an micro biologist?
A mycologist or a microbiologist would be best suited to determine the type of mold you have. Mycologists specialize in the study of fungi, including molds, and microbiologists study microorganisms including fungi like molds.
What do you call a scientist who studies life?
A scientist who studies life is called a biologist. Biologists study living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environments.
What kind of biologist would study satellite technology?
A biologist specializing in remote sensing or ecological modeling would study satellite technology to analyze ecosystems and habitats from space using satellite imagery. This line of research helps monitor environmental changes and track wildlife populations.

What is a a cell biologist?
The study of cells is known as cytology, so a cell biologist is a cytologist.
