Is a biologist a scientist

Answer 1

Biology majors usually take a few more chemistry courses than, say, English majors, but you certainly don't need to be a chemist in order to be a biologist. Chemistry is more important to some topics within biology than others, so depending on the precise focus you're interested in you may find chemistry more (or less) useful. Molecular biologists, for example, need to understand chemistry fairly well.

Answer 2

This depends on the biology class or level of biology being studied. Introductory biology courses are often taught before chemistry, and require very little understanding of chemistry, (although there is still some basic chemistry required).

More advanced biology will require a more throughout understating of chemistry, since chemistry is what drives many biological systems.

Answer 3

Yes. A biologist is a scientist that studies the life of plants and animals.
