what is the meaning of molecular level and is molecular level is a microscopic level and how we study the structure of organisms at molecular level...

Biology is organized in a hierarchical system. From
largest to smallest, the list would go something like
this:


Ecosystem


Population


Individual


Organ
System


Organ


Tissue


Cell


Cell
Organelle


Molecule


Atom


For
more detail on what each level is comprised of, see the link

Generally speaking, most microscope work is done at
the tissue, cell, or cell organelle level. Molecules are usually too small to be studied
with a microscope. In order to do research at the molecular level, scientists have had
to devise a variety of techniques, including tagging specific molecules with radioactive
isotopes, separating molecules via electrophoresis, western blot, or chromatography, or
doing spectroscopic analysis.


The science of biochemistry
is entirely devoted to studying the chemical reactions carried on by living cells;
biochemists are therefore working at the molecular level. It is a fascinating field
requiring a lot of theoretical knowledge, as things must be studied indirectly rather
than by direct observation.

What is the meaning of the 4th stanza of Eliot's Preludes, especially the lines "I am moved by fancies...Infinitely suffering thing".

A century old this year, T.S. Eliot's Preludes raises the curtain on his great modernist masterpieces, The Love...
