10 bullets each

Answer 1

Cell Biology	Molecular Biology
The field of science that studies the processes and behaviour of living cells in terms of their physiological, morphological and anatomical characteristics.	the field of science that involves the understanding and relationship of macromolecules like proteins, DNA and RNA.
Deals with the structure, function and history of living cells (both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells).	Deals with the study of the central dogma of life and genetic makeup.
Studies mostly require to keep the cells intact and alive, since the behaviour of the cell contents are to be observed and examined.	Studies mostly require in breaking open the cells in order to obtain the molecule of interest (could be protein, RNA or DNA) for further processing.
The types of techniques used could be immunofluorescence, hybridization techniques (in situ), microscopy, scanning, etc.	The types of techniques used are PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), cloning techniques, gene expression techniques, gel electrophoresis, etc.
Studies structure like mitochondria, nucleus, membrane, filaments etc.	Studies macromolecules like DNA, RNA, protein.
Focuses on cellular mechanisms.	Focuses on cellular molecules.
Important to identify effects and responses of cells to different kinds environmental, chemical and metabolic exposure.	Important to identify and confirm morphological, metabolic or pathological conditions and biomarkers.
Not too relevant in disease diagnostics.	A signicant tool in disease diagnostics
Study done at cellular level	Study done at molecular level
Does not involve study at genetic level.	Involves study at the genetic level.
