Biochemistry

8 Pathways • 55 Skills

Biochemistry is like the alphabet soup of life—it's the study of chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It's a toolkit that helps us understand how our bodies work, from how we turn food into fuel to how our cells communicate. This knowledge is crucial because it not only satisfies our curiosity about life but also paves the way for breakthroughs in medicine and biotechnology, helping us keep diseases at bay and improve health outcomes.
