As an occupation, I would love to study marine life. I will need to master biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of life, water, and salts. One example is water- composed of two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom that are positively and negatively charged. This is only one example of chemistry used as a marine biologist.

Basic chemistry is critical for Marine Biologists. Mastery of chemical formulas, structural formulas (which is a more complex Lewis Dot Structure) and a space filling models are only the beginning for biologists. Marine Biology is important to whole world. They monitor pollution levels from fossil fuels out in the ocean so the fish don’t carry sickness that would be transferred into foods.
