The natural sciences were once divided into two broad categories: the biological 
sciences and the physical sciences. The biological sciences focus mainly on living 
things. The physical sciences focus mainly on nonliving things. However, because 
we now know that both living and nonliving matter consist of chemical structures, 
chemistry is central to all the sciences, and there are no longer distinct divisions 
between the biological and physical sciences.
