wat do u think ryaan?

anonymous · Answer

I think  in biochemistry we study about reactions that occur in cell.

anonymous · Answer

But, it can also be..field of study that relies on laboratory science, laboratory science means working with chemicals right?

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused, I don't know which one is correct :I

shrutipande9 · Answer

u r rite ryaan....its reaction in cell....u do not distinguish fields depending on whether u study in laboratory or not.

anonymous · Answer

So, it's B?

shrutipande9 · Answer

yep.

anonymous · Answer

But that another option is saying ''field that relies on laboratory science to describe life processes'' This is not in Biochemistry category?

shrutipande9 · Answer

every research field is dependent on lab to describe d life process...

anonymous · Answer

Alright!
Only in Biochemistry we study about reaction that occur in cell?

anonymous · Answer

I'm still confused with both options :I

shrutipande9 · Answer

okay lets just check d definition of biochem..

shrutipande9 · Answer

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to, living organisms.[1] By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes cause the complexity of life. Over the last 40 years, biochemistry has become so successful at explaining living processes that now almost all areas of the life sciences from botany to medicine are engaged in biochemical research.[2] Today, the main focus of pure biochemistry is in understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living cells, which in turn relates greatly to the study and understanding of whole organisms.

i would say B as well
