Учебно-методическое пособие по английскому языку для вузов. Кислякова Н.В - 7 стр.

      Biochemistry is the chemistry of living organisms and of vital processes.
Sometimes it is called physiological chemistry. It studies molecules of the living
systems. Every life process depends on protein molecules: they direct and
regulate metabolism in the body, destroy infections, etc. There are more than
100 aminoacids known to biochemists. They are of great importance to our
organism. Biochemistry is a rapidly expanding area of biomedical science.
  Inorganic and organic chemistry have some differences. Inorganic chemistry is
the chemistry dealing with the preparation of new compounds and the methods
of their analysis. Organic chemistry is the chemistry of the compounds of
carbon. Many years inorganic and organic chemistry progressed side by side. A
modern chemist will attach organic groups to a metal atom if it is more
convenient for investigation; he will use any of the available methods of
inorganic chemistry if it is necessary for the solution of problems connected
with organic chemistry. Two facts helped the development of inorganic
chemistry: the growth of the theoretical techniques and new optical, magnetic
techniques by which they can be investigated.
  People say that facts give a science its substance, but it is the theory that
provides its strength. It is owing to the development of the theory that chemistry
has such exciting prospects at the present time.
