The study of biochemistry is an examination of life at the elemental level. It focuses on the processes happening within cells and the structures found inside them. 生物化学 is a combination of biology and chemistry—with a focus on life processes at the cellular and even molecular level. Biochemists work in an ever-growing variety of fields, 比如食品科学, 免疫学, 药品, 遗传学, agriculture and environmental science.
“My most memorable experiences were in the chemistry labs.”
