Answer 1

CELL BIOLOGY-

It is a branch of biology studying the structure and function of the cell, also known as the basic unit of life.Cell biology encompasses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and can be divided into many sub-topics which may include the study of cell metabolism, cell communication, cell cycle and cell composition. The study of cells is performed using several techniques such as cell culture, various types of microscopy, and cell fractionation. These have allowed for and are currently being used for discoveries and research pertaining to how cells function, ultimately giving insight into understanding larger organisms. Knowing the components of cells and how cells work is fundamental to all biological sciences while also being essential for research in biomedical fields such as cancer, and other diseases. Research in cell biology is interconnected to other fields such as genetics, molicular genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, medical microbiology , immunology, and cytochemistry.

Organic Chemistry-

Organic Chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds, which contain carbon in covalent bonding. Study of structure determines their chemical composition and formula.

If you talk about biochemistry and organi chemistry

Biochemistry is more focused on how these molecules interact with biological systems. The emphasis is on what the molecule does. ... Organic Chemistry is the Chemistry of carbon based Compounds while Biochemistry is the study of directly biologically relevant Chemistry, as in Chemistry conducted within living cells.
