Question

The field of physical science is often considered a basis for many other scientific disciplines. What does this imply?

• A. Physical science is the only field capable of providing objective and quantifiable data, making it superior to qualitative sciences.
• B. The principles of physics and chemistry apply to the study of biology, medicine, and engineering.
• C. Students interested in biology, medicine, or engineering should exclusively focus on physical science during their foundational studies.
• D. The discoveries in physical science are independent of advancements in other scientific fields, only serving as a one-way influence.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The principles of physics and chemistry apply to the study of biology, medicine, and engineering.

• Life processes (biology) are governed by the laws of chemistry and physics, and engineering relies on these principles to design and build things.

• This highlights the foundational role of physical science.
