Answer

A- Biochemistry is the study of biomolecules in living organisms. It provides structure, functions, and interaction of biomolecules (Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic acids, etc.) B-Analytical chemistry studies the separation of particular substances from matter by using different instruments. C-Geochemistry is the study of the chemistry of earth materials, its oceans, also solar planets, and the chemical process within them. D-Nuclear chemistry is the branch of science which deals with radioactivity, nuclear processes and describe the different type of radiations like alpha, beta, gamma. E-Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with inorganic compounds (not contain carbon ), and their structure, properties, reaction.

Work Step by Step

A. Biochemistry: - Study of biomolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates) in living organisms - Examines structure, functions, and interactions of biomolecules to understand biological processes - Investigates metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, and gene expression - Essential for understanding biological systems, developing new drugs, and treating diseases B. Analytical Chemistry: - Focuses on separating, identifying, and quantifying specific substances in matter - Utilizes various instruments and techniques (chromatography, spectroscopy, electrochemistry) - Crucial for quality control, environmental monitoring, medical research, and forensic analysis - Applications include drug testing, water purification, and food safety C. Geochemistry: - Explores the chemistry of Earth's materials, oceans, and solar planets - Investigates chemical processes within the Earth's crust, mantle, and atmosphere - Studies the formation of rocks, minerals, and fossil fuels - Important for understanding geological processes, natural resources, environmental issues, and climate change D. Nuclear Chemistry: - Deals with radioactivity, nuclear reactions, and radiation types (alpha, beta, gamma) - Studies nuclear properties, reactions, and applications (energy, medicine, industry) - Investigates nuclear stability, radioactive decay, and nuclear synthesis - Essential for understanding nuclear power, radiation safety, medical treatments, and nuclear waste management E. Inorganic Chemistry: - Focuses on inorganic compounds (not containing carbon) - Examines structure, properties, and reactions of inorganic compounds - Investigates acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, and solid-state chemistry - Crucial for understanding materials science, catalysis, environmental processes, and industrial applications
