My daughter had to take two years of molecular biology in order to qualify for the International Baccalaureate diploma.
The text was hard as the dickens. She'd get very frustrated reading it, and sometimes I'd pick it up to take a look at whatever she was studying. I'll tell you one thing. That text didn't have any cool stories about animals and their habitats in it! Nothing warm and fuzzy or even scaly and diamond-patterned. It was all formulas. Formulas, formulas, formulas.
If you love chemistry, then molecular biology is probably a pretty cool area of study for your brain.
If you don't really give much of a hang about what's going on at molecular level and would rather read the stories on bioloy on a more superficial level that doesn't require a tremendous application of math, then regular biology would be better.
Talk about a dearth of pictures in that molecular biology text! Egad!
Bio regards,
