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.
