What is biochemistry and how does it differ from the fields of genetics, biology, chemistry, and molecular biology?

Biochemistry uses the disiplinary of Genetics, Biology and Molecular Biology to describe the molecular nature of life processes. With a backbone of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry describes the processes by which molecules function on a larger scale to include cellular metabolism as well as other nature processes. Genetics pertains to molecular mechanisms and their expression of DNA within various individuals and the methods of DNA transmission. Biology and Molecular Biology describe the very basic of fundamentals of the cell processes and mechanisms in both plants and animals. Biochemistry ties a foundation of these disiplines and applies them at a macro level that helps explain observable scientific anomolies.
