Can anyone explain the difference between Microbiology and Biochemistry?

Can anyone explain the difference?

 

[vinylgroover]

isn't microbiology to do with studying bacteria, virus, fungae etc and biochemistry the study of cells and molecules etc.

I have no idea homeslice, which is why I made this thread.

man, your knowledge certainly is lacking for a Guru

Oh yeah, well your wings are certainly lacking for being a uh, rat with wings or something.


FUCKING OWNED.

yes.

particularly, biochem is the study of the CHEMISTRY of BIOLOGY (how cell membranes are made up of lipids, the importance of dna, protein functions etc).

Ok, So basically if I want to learn more about steroids and related crap Biochem is the way to go?

Can I get a good job with a BS in Biochem 2Thick?

 

[biteme]

One starts with an M and the other a B. That's the most fundamental difference. Everything else is basically irrelevant.

You can get a basic job. You get a good job with a Matsers (...one more year in Uni).

i better get a good fucking job

Question on Pharmacy Degree. Lets use UCSF for Example.

To get into their pharmacy program do you have to have a 4 year degree or not?

 

[JohnnyMolson]

I wonder how many of the biochemistry students on this board are going into the discipline with the hope that they will be able to syntesize their own steroids in their basement someday?

 

[Paulos]

OK, Nevermind I figured it out.

Community College Now -> Biochemistry at Davis -> PharmD at UCSF.


Word to your mothers.

I think our annilingin manslut is right

Microbiology specifically deals with the biology (which entails some chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology) of microscopic organisms.

Biochemistry deals with the chemistry of living organisms, which also, entails molecular biology.

Many fields overlap in terms of the coursework, so pharmacology, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, all cover the topic of steroidal chemistry.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

hiya if you want to learn about how steroids work you should look into pharmacology, rather than biochemistry

anything to do with pharmacy will pretty much only deal with hormone replacement in terms of your anabolics

im a pharmacist in australia

cheers

At IU the chemistry and biochemistry programs are almost identical. only difference is biochemistry requires and extra 10 credit hours of advanced cellular biology (virology, genetics, advanced cell biology, etc) and a different biochem course. the chem course requires a 1 topical biochem class but the biochem program requires 2 more indepth biochem class. aside from that they are identical.

As far as biochemistry & microbiology, basically each is a minor of the other. a microbiology degree more or less has a minor in chem and a biochemist has a minor in microbiology. maybe 20 hours of difference between them.
