Why is it necessary for a biologist to have expertise in the field of chemistry?

Answer 1

Biologists study chemistry because it is the basis of a living things. For example aerobic respiration (us breathing) is breathing in Oxygen (O2) and breathing out Carbon Dioxide (CO2) these are elements in the Periodic Table which is a part of chemistry.

Answer 3

Chemistry is needed to study metabolic pathways, ATP production, nucleic acid structure, lipid structure, carbohydrate structure, protein structure, etc. As you can see, chemistry is important in Biology. However, physics is not needed to study it unless they are bioengineers (also called biotechnical engineers and biological engineers).

Answer 4

well, there is the study of biochemistry, which looks at biology at a molecular level

Answer 5

Inorder to have a good idea of the founding laws, principles, and theories that dictate all of the reactions that occur inside of an organism.

Answer 6

Physics is not so necessary, but chemistry is the background of biology; genetics, cellular biology and many other fields depend on knowledge of chemistry to be properly explained.

Answer 7

so that they can have a bright future , and it is an important part of science.
