Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. It combines biology and chemistry to understand how molecules interact in biological systems.
| Key Areas | Description |
| Metabolism | The process of breaking down and building up molecules for energy and growth. |
| Enzymes | Proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. |
| Nucleic Acids | DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information. |
| Proteins | Essential for structure, function, and regulation of the body s tissues and organs. |
| Lipids | Include fats and oils, important for energy storage and cell membranes. |
Biochemistry plays a vital role in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Understanding biochemical processes helps in developing new drugs and improving crop yields.
