Biochemistry is an intergration of the fields of biology and chemistry. It is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms dealing with structure and function of cellular components including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other biomolecules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry). Biochemistry demonstrates the complexity of the parts and processes completed by even the smallest organism. Biochemistry differs from the fields fo genetics, biology, chemistry and molecular biology because it draws on many of these disciplines to answer questions about the molecular nature of lifeprocesses (Campbell and Farrell, 2008). Although many of these fields appear unrelated they are in fact related and together can provide a clearer picture of a complex issue.
