Biology vs Biochemistry

I’m a high school senior who is interested in going to a medical school after undergraduate.
I’m undecided between bio and biochem.
I like bio, the part about human, cell, molecules, etc. (NOT ecology)
I also enjoy chem, but I don’t know that much about it yet.

So my questions are,

How much emphasis would be put on ecology if I chose to take biology (hopefully very little…)?
and
Would I be able to study cells and development in a considerable amount if I chose biochemistry?

I realize colleges have different courses for the same major, but please tell me in general.
If this is hard to answer, can you write a summary of what biology and biochemistry majors usually study?

Thanks!
