Genetic Information and Processes

• The primary carrier of genetic information in living organisms is DNA.
• DNA plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins and the regulation of gene expression.
• The process of converting DNA to RNA is known as transcription.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

• The study of life's chemical processes, focusing on the interactions between biological molecules and their role in living organisms is known as biochemistry.
• Biochemistry encompasses various subtopics including molecular biology, genetics, and cellular processes.

Genetic Components and Energy

• Besides DNA, RNA is another essential component of the genetic process.
• The primary energy currency in living organisms is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Biotechnological Processes

• Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genetic information to alter the properties of living organisms.
• The movement of molecules in and out of cells through various mechanisms such as diffusion and active transport is known as transport mechanisms.

Drug Development and Cellular Processes

• Pharmacology involves understanding the biochemical properties of potential compounds and their interactions with biological targets, such as enzymes and receptors.
• Biochemistry provides the foundation for understanding and manipulating biological processes for various applications.
• Cellular homeostasis, maintained through various processes, is crucial for maintaining the stable functioning of cells.
• ATP serves as the primary energy currency in living organisms.
• Pharmacology plays a crucial role in the development of effective drugs by studying their biochemical properties.
• Cellular processes provide insights into the functioning of cellular organelles and the interactions between cellular components.
• Key aspects of cellular processes include gene expression, signal transduction, and metabolism.
