What is the scientific name for the study of energy and matter?

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Psychology

The correct answer is: Physics

Biological studies primarily focus on living organisms, while psychological studies focus on the mind and behavior. These two options are incorrect as they do not relate to the study of energy and matter. Chemistry is the study of the composition, properties, and reactions of substances, and while it does involve some aspects of energy and matter, it is a broader field that also encompasses the study of substances without a focus on energy and matter itself, making it an incorrect option. Physics, on the other hand, is the scientific study of energy, matter, and their interactions. Its principles are used to explain phenomena in fields such as chemistry and biology, making it the correct answer for the study of energy and matter.
