Physiological chemistry is the chemistry of the organs and tissues of the body and of the various physiological processes incident to life. Physiological chemistry is essentially the precursor to modern biochemistry. In the nineteenth century, physiological chemistry dealt primarily with extracellular chemistry, such as the chemistry of digestion and other body fluids. Modern biochemical methods have allowed a much broader study including the chemistry of proteins and nucleic acids.
Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other biomolecules.

I suppose the difference may depend on what the quality of school is that is providing the class. Where were you accepted?
I am accepted to both Massachusetts and Hampton. Hampton requires that class... and i was trying to see if i needed to learn about the different R-groups. I have been quizing my friend and have learned them... but i dont want it to be a waste though!
Just being able to identify the functional groups and whether they are acidic/basic or neutral should suffice. You'll get a recap of all the R groups you can stand in biochem and medicinal chemistry.
I think it's been posted many times before in here, but take the rest of the summer off. Don't spend your precious free time studying when you don't absolutely have to. You will get enough of it in the next few years.
