Key Features

• Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms.
• It explains how biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids function.
• Enzymes act as biological catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions.
• Carbohydrates provide energy and structural support.
• Proteins play roles in structure, transport, defense, and regulation.Lipids store energy, form membranes, and act as signaling molecules.
  Nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) store and transfer genetic information Metabolism includes catabolism (breaking down molecules for energy) and anabolism (building molecules).
  Biochemical pathways (like glycolysis, Krebs cycle) are essential for energy production.
  Biochemistry connects biology and chemistry, helping us understand health, disease, and drug development.
