There are a lot of similarities and differences between biology, chemistry, molecular biology and biochemistry.  I feel biochemistry sums up all of these scientific fields.  When I think biology, I think the study of living organisms and where they live, how they began.  In chemistry I think of elements and their reactions and properties.  Molecular biology I think about molecular reactions and structures and DNA.
 Biochemistry is a mixture of all fields.  Biochemistry is a mixture of all fields. Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions and structures in living organisms.  Biochemistry has to do with amino acids, proteins, fatty acids etc. 
I think that it is different because biochemistry is a broader field.  It encompasses all of the fields.  It doesn’t just focus on structure and chemical reactions.  I feel that the other fields are very specific and defined and I feel biochemistry is not specific.
