Biochemistry is the branch of sciencethat brings together biology and chemistry; it explores the various molecules that occur in living organisms and their environment, with their chemical reactions and processes.
Importance
It mainly emphases on the processes that occurs at molecular level inside the cells by reviewing the components such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and organelles.
It also focuses at how cells communicate with each other during growth, development as well as in disease condition.
