1. What is biochemistry, and how does it differ from the fields of genetics, biology, chemistry, and molecular biology?

     Biochemistry is the study of chemical composition of chemical compositions of living matter and chemical processes that happen in living organisms. Genetics is the study of heredity, biology is the study of living organisms, chemistry is a part of science that works with the chemical composition and properties of a substance, and molecular biology is a part of science dealing with the studying of structure, functions and reactions of molecules involved in the life process.
     Biochemistry is applied in many fields within science, medicine, medical, industries, and society. Biochemistry works with the function and structure of cellular components. Biochemistry strives to focus of understanding how biological molecules help aid the process in living cells. This information helps with understanding an organism as a whole. Looking at the molecular processes of how an organism works can help us understand diseases and look for a cure or reversal of incorrect processes. while we have learned a lot, we still have so much more we can learn.
