Sometimes you need to do the memorizing first in order to get more from your learning later. In Chemistry the first part is all about memorizing, but once you have the memorization things down you can start discovering and experimenting.

No, studying is learning about facts or concepts but also, and most importantly, how to manipulate them effectively. You would only get partial credit if you regurgitate a list of facts about, say GM crops but full credits if you could write an analysis of their effect on the environment. Studying should be about self-improvement, learning about the world but also learning how to think and reason.

Studying is technically memorizing... but you have to find the context, and meaning behing the words as well.

You can memorise a passage of text but that doesn't mean you've learnt anything from it. To truly study, you should be understanding what you're "memorising" too.

no indeed quite the opposite, studying is about understanding. Memorising will only get you so far, understanding will ensure you can apply your knowledge.
