    Study Notes

    Biochemistry

    • Biochemistry is the field that applies chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level.

    Aim of Biochemistry

    • The aim of biochemistry is to understand the chemical processes that occur within living organisms.

    Relationship with Biomedicine

    • Biochemistry is closely related to biomedicine, as it provides the foundation for understanding the mechanisms of disease and developing new treatments.

    Basic Building Blocks of Life

    • The basic building blocks of life are molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

    Characteristics of Cells

    • Cells are the smallest units of life and are characterized by their ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis.

    Non-Aim of Biochemistry

    • One of the aims of biochemistry is NOT to study the physical structure of an organism.

    Field of Biochemistry

    • Biochemistry is a field that combines chemistry, biology, and physics to understand the chemical processes that occur within living organisms.

    Relationship with Diseases

    • Biochemistry plays a crucial role in understanding the mechanisms of diseases, as it helps to identify the underlying chemical changes that occur during disease progression.

    Smallest Living Unit

    • The smallest living unit of an organism is a cell, which is capable of reproducing and maintaining its own vital functions.
