CC=Carbon Copy: A copy of the message is sent to the people you CC and their email address is visible to all recipients.

BCC=Blind Carbon Copy: A copy of the message is sent to the people you BCC and their email address is NOT visible to all recipients.

So is CC the same as putting multiple e-mail addresses in the send column, separated by a column?

Yes.  In that case you are addressing the email to everyone in the send column.  In the case of the CC you are addressing it to one person but copying a bunch of other people whose email addresses are visible to the recipient and the other CC'd individuals.
