      Hey again ngmcc!

      Quantum physics is a branch of physics that works with the activities going on inside of atoms. They talk about subatomic particles interacting with each other. So an atom is made or protons, neutrons, and electrons, but then these are made of sub-atomic particles such as bosons, quarks, and leptons!

      It is just a smaller branch of physics that specifically looks inside of atoms!

      I study microbiology which specifically looks at bacteria, where as this actually falls into the category of biology as a whole!

      Hope that helps! 🙂 Don’t forget to vote 🙂
