Why? Why is the blood color of vertebrates so different from that of mollusks? What is Biochemistry? Biochemistry is the chemistry of life Chemical constituents of living cells Chemical reactions and processes Biochemistry deals with the study of biomolecules Compositions, structures, properties, functions Biosynthesis, metabolism, control, regulation Major objective of Biochemistry Complete understanding of all the chemical processes associated with living cells at the molecular level Scope of Biochemistry: As wide as life itself Why is Biochemistry so important? It is closely related to areas such as industry, agriculture, and even our routine life. A knowledge of Biochemistry is essential to all life sciences — as a foundation — as a bridge As a fundamental course, it builds up the foundation for students to study other more advanced bioscience/biotechnology courses.
