What is the study of the chemistry of living organisms?

  1. Physiology

  2. Biochemistry

  3. Botany

  4. Entomology

The correct answer is: Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living organisms, including their chemical structures and processes. Physiology (option A) is the study of the functions and activities of living organisms and their parts. Botany (option C) is the study of plants, while entomology (option D) is the study of insects. While all of these fields may overlap or be related to biochemistry, they specifically focus on different aspects of living organisms. Therefore, they are not the study of the chemistry of living organisms and are not the correct answer.
