Which is the best course that can be taken to major with microbiology between biochemistry and zoology and why?

Answer 1

Biochemistry would be best suited since a first semester of basic biochem college course still likely teaches nomenclature while 2nd semester covers tricarboxcylic acid cycle in what happens at the molecular and atomic levels when food energy converts to other forms of energy therefore biochemistry offers much greater conducive comprehension to microscopic studies whereas zoology perhaps as a minor may seem more appropriate. By nomenclature, I mean it teaches the meanings of all those long fancy words one finds on many ingredient labels, for example all long molecular names that ends with "-ol" simply means there's an oxygen and hydrogen attached to the very end of that molecule because the strict order in which molecular names are written is in direct correlation to its physical 3-D structure.

Answer 2

Biochemistry would be the best course to major in alongside microbiology because it focuses on the chemical processes of living organisms, including microorganisms. This would provide a strong foundation for understanding the biochemical pathways and interactions at the molecular level within microbial cells, complementing your microbiology knowledge effectively. Zoology, while interesting, may not relate as closely to microbiology in terms of content and skill development.
