What is the primary focus of chemical biology?
- Studying the chemistry of biomolecules and regulation of biochemical pathways
- Genetic manipulation of organisms for biological research
- Investigating the structure of cells and biomolecules
- Application of chemical techniques to study and manipulate biological systems (correct)
How does chemical biology differ from biochemistry?
How does chemical biology differ from biochemistry?
- Biochemistry involves the synthesis of biomolecules, while chemical biology focuses on genetic manipulation
- Chemical biology studies biological systems at the genetic level, while biochemistry studies them at the cellular level
- Chemical biology deals with chemistry applied to biology, while biochemistry focuses on the chemistry of biomolecules and biochemical pathways (correct)
- Biochemistry focuses on in vitro studies, while chemical biology focuses on in vivo studies
How does chemical biology approach biological questions?
