What is biochemistry?

1 answer

Biochemistry is the branch of science that studies the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It combines principles of both biology and chemistry to understand how molecules interact and function in biological systems. Biochemists study various aspects of life processes, including metabolism, molecular biology, genetics, and cell biology, in order to gain insights into the chemical basis of life and develop knowledge that can be applied to fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
